Honorable Carlos A. Gimenez, Mayor
Honorable Esteban L. Bovo, Jr., Chairman and Members of the Board of County Commissioners
Honorable Harvey Ruvin Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts
Citizens of Miami-Dade County
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are pleased to present the Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “County” or “Miami-Dade County”) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, pursuant to Florida State law. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) and audited by a firm of independent certified public accountants retained by the County and paid from its public funds. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the County received an unmodified opinion from its independent auditor.
This report may also be accessed via the internet at http://www.miamidade.gov/finance/.
Responsibility for the accuracy and fairness of the presentation, including disclosures, rests with management of the County. We believe the data is accurate in all material respects, is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the County, and has all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the County’s financial activity. Miami-Dade County has established comprehensive internal controls designed to protect the County’s assets from loss, theft or misuse and provide accounting data for preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, the County’s internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met.
The management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis
.
iv
of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complements this Letter of Transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the Government
Miami-Dade County is located along the southeast tip of the Florida peninsula, bounded by Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Everglades National Park to the west, the Florida Keys to the south, and Broward County to the north. It occupies an area of more than 2,431 square miles. The total population served by the County is more than 2.6 million, including approximately 1.1 million that live in the Unincorporated Municipal Services Area (“UMSA”). Due to its proximity and high volume of travel and trade within the region, Miami-Dade County is often referred to as the “Gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean.”
Government Structure and Services Provided
Dade County was created in 1836 and encompassed an area from present-day Palm Beach County to the Florida Keys. The State Legislature in 1955 approved and submitted
to a general election a constitutional amendment designed to give a new form of government to the County. The amendment was approved in a statewide general election in November 1956. A Dade County Charter Board was constituted and, in April 1957, it completed a draft of a charter for the County. The proposed charter was adopted in a countywide election in May 1957 and became effective on July 20, 1957 (the “Charter”). The
electors of the County are granted power to revise and amend the Charter from time to time by countywide vote. The County has home-rule powers, subject only to the limitations of the Constitution and general laws of the State. The County has, in effect, a county government with certain powers effective throughout the entire County, including 34 municipalities located within the County, and a municipal government for the unincorporated area of the County. The County does not displace or replace the cities, but supplements them.
The Board of County Commissioners (the “BCC”) is the legislative body, consisting of 13 members elected from single-member districts. Members are elected to serve four-year terms, not to exceed two consecutive four-year terms effective November 6, 2012. Elections of members are staggered. The BCC chooses a Chairperson, who presides over the Commission, as well as appoints the members of its legislative committees. The BCC has a wide array of powers to enact legislation and regulate businesses operating within the County. It also has the power to override the Mayor’s veto with a two-thirds vote.
On January 23, 2007, the electors of Miami-Dade approved an amendment to the Home Rule Charter which established a Strong Mayor form of government. This amendment
.
v
expands the Mayor’s powers over administrative matters. Under this new system, the Mayor appoints all department heads.
On January 29, 2008, a charter amendment was approved to make the Property Appraiser an elected position. The Property Appraiser is elected to a four-year term, with no term limits.
The Clerk of the Board is a separate, duly elected constitutional officer as mandated by Article V, Section 16 of the Constitution of the State of Florida. The Clerk is elected to a four-year term by the electorate of Miami-Dade County. In this capacity, the Clerk serves as the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, County Recorder, County Auditor, custodian of all County funds, and custodian of all records filed with the Court.
Miami-Dade County provides a full range of services, including, but not limited to, police and fire protection; health services, which includes the operation of a major hospital and various neighborhood health clinics; mass transportation; sanitation; water and sewer services; the construction and maintenance of
highways, streets and other infrastructure; libraries; correctional facilities; parks, recreational and cultural facilities and events; the operation of an airport system, including an international airport, three general aviation airports and a training airport; and a full service seaport.
The financial reporting entity under which the financial statements are prepared includes all the organizations, activities and functions for which the County, as the primary government, is financially accountable.
Budgetary Process and Control
State of Florida statutes require that all county governments prepare, approve, adopt and execute an annual budget for such funds as may be required by law or by sound financial practices. In compliance with this, the budgets adopted by the County are either appropriated or non-appropriated in nature. Funds that have legally appropriated budgets cannot legally exceed their appropriations. The budgetary controls over funds that have non-appropriated budgets are set by enabling ordinances, such as Bond Ordinances, in which the expenditure authority extends many years into the future.
Budgets are monitored at varying levels of classification detail; however, expenditures cannot legally exceed total appropriations at the individual fund/department level. Amendments and supplements to the budget require BCC approval. Estimated beginning fund balances available for financing current appropriations are considered in the budgetary process. Budget and actual comparison for the General Fund is presented in the Required Supplementary Information (RSI) section of the CAFR. Budget and actual comparisons for other governmental funds, except Capital Projects Funds, are presented
.
vi
as supplementary information in the financial section of the report. Capital Projects Funds are budgeted on a multi-year basis.
As an additional control, the County employs an encumbrance system that reduces available appropriations in governmental funds upon issuance of purchase orders, contracts or other forms of legal commitments. Encumbrances at year-end do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
Long-Term Debt Management
The County continues to obtain, in an efficient and innovative manner, long-term financing for the construction or acquisition of various long-term assets. It is management's objective to adequately plan and meet the County's comprehensive construction demands for essential capital improvements and equipment, while ensuring that the residents of the community are not overburdened with general obligation long-term debt payable from ad valorem taxes.
Enterprise Operations
The County operates the following enterprise funds: the Transit Enterprise Fund, the Waste Management Enterprise Fund, the Seaport Department, the Aviation Department, the Water and Sewer Department, the Public Health Trust, the Rickenbacker Causeway Fund, the Venetian Causeway Fund, the Vizcaya Art Museum, the Section 8 Allocation Fund and the Mixed Income Properties Fund. Following is a brief introduction to the County’s major enterprise funds.
Transit Enterprise Fund
Miami-Dade Transit (“MDT”) is the 14th largest public transit system in the country, and the largest in Florida, based on passenger trips. MDT operates a unified public transit system consisting of a fleet of 847 buses, covering 29 million miles along 93 routes, a 25-mile dual track elevated Monorail system, a 20-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and a 4.4-mile automated dual-lane elevated people mover system. Currently, MDT has a viable four-mode system – Metrobus, Metrorail, Metromover and Special Transportation System.
On November 5, 2002, Miami-Dade County voters approved a half of one percent Charter County Transit System Surtax (“the surtax”) that has since been providing a dedicated funding source for transportation improvements, operations and maintenance and roadway improvements in the County.
Miami-Dade County also approved the Peoples Transportation Plan or (“PTP”) which outlined specific transit and roadway improvements to be supported by the Surtax. Eligible application includes bus service improvements, fixed guideways, rapid transit improvements, major highway and road improvements, and neighborhood improvements. Changes to County projects detailed in the PTP must first go through the Citizens'
.

Independent Transportation Trust and are ultimately approved by the County Commission. Additionally, as per the Ordinance 02-116, 20% of the sales tax proceeds shall be distributed annually to municipalities in Miami-Dade County in existence at the time the tax was adopted, based upon a pro-rata share determined by population, for transportation and transit improvements. The County has agreed to allocate annually approximately 3% of the annual surtax proceeds from its 80% to three new municipalities that have been formed after the surtax was approved in 2002, as approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
Waste Management Enterprise Fund
The Department of Solid Waste Management provides solid waste collection services for unincorporated Miami-Dade County and some municipalities in addition to solid waste disposal services for all of Miami-Dade County. Its principal responsibilities are collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling of municipal solid waste.
Solid Waste Management is responsible for the operation of a variety of facilities, including the Resources Recovery Facility (waste-to-energy facility), landfills, transfer stations, and Neighborhood Trash and Recycling Centers. It is also responsible for meeting the State’s countywide environmental compliance objectives such as the State’s waste recycling goal of 75% by 2020.
Seaport Department
The Seaport Department operates the county-owned Dante B. Fascell Port of Miami-Dade (“Port”). The Port is the largest cruise home port in the world and is among the leading for international waterborne container ports in the U.S. The Port is an island port and occupies approximately 520 acres of land. For fiscal year 2016 the Port handled approximately 4.98 million passengers. During the same period, approximately 8.78 million tons
of cargo and close to 1.0 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU’s) were processed through the Port.
During fiscal year 2016, several construction projects were completed. These projects include certain cruise terminal improvements; construction of certain cargo area related improvements and security enhancements.
Aviation Department
The Miami-Dade County Aviation Department (“MDAD”) operates a system of airports, the Miami International Airport (“MIA”), as well as three general aviation airports and one training airport. During fiscal year 2016, 44.9 million passengers travelled through MIA. International traffic accounted for 48%. MIA remains number one in the U.S. for international freight and second for international passengers. MIA continues to be an
.
viii
economic engine for Miami Dade County and the State of Florida and is the major trans-shipment point between the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. The Department offers an extensive air service network covering over 150 cities on four continents. MIA and the aviation-related industries contribute over 282,000 jobs directly and indirectly to the South Florida economy and are responsible for one out of every four jobs. MDAD runs the system of airports as a financially self- sufficient entity.
Water and Sewer Department
The Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (“WASD”), considered the largest water utility in the Southeast United States, provides water and wastewater services throughout the County. The department’s water system, consisting of three regional water treatment plants and five small auxiliary treatment plants, serves approximately 441,000 retail customers and 15 wholesale customers within the County. WASD manages fifteen wellfields comprised of 94 production wells and five aquifer storage and recovery wells supplying untreated water to treatment plants. Seven remote finished water storage and pumping facilities and more than 8,200 miles of water mains distribute water throughout the 400 square miles service area. Whereas the wastewater system, also consisting of three regional waste water treatment plants, serves approximately 358,000 retail customers and 13 wholesale customers.
Public Health Trust
The Public Health Trust (“the Trust”) was created in October 1973 to provide for an independent governing body responsible for the operation, governance, and maintenance of designated health facilities. These facilities include six hospitals, two skilled nursing facilities, several primary care centers, multiple specialty care centers, the corrections health services for Miami-Dade County; and one urgent care center. The trust provides health services throughout the County. The hospitals include Jackson Memorial Hospital (a teaching hospital operating in association with the University of Miami School of Medicine), Jackson North Medical Center, Jackson South Community Hospital, Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, Jackson Rehabilitation Hospital, and Holtz Children’s Hospital.
On September 3, 1991, the voters of the County approved a one-half percent health care surtax (the Surtax) on sales transactions occurring in Miami-Dade County. The Surtax proceeds are considered unrestricted tax revenue of the Trust and shall be used only for the operation, maintenance and administration of the Trust. Additionally, the County is required to provide the Trust with a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) payment. At September 30, 2016, the Trust operated a total of 2,125 licensed hospital beds and 343 licensed nursing home beds.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements primarily focuses on the County’s financial position, as measured by its existing resources and claims on those resources.
.
ix
However, the County’s financial condition is best understood when the focus is on both existing and future resources and potential claims on those resources. This broader concept is used to assess its financial condition, which reflects the current financial position as well as the prospects that today’s financial position will improve or deteriorate.
Economic Condition and Outlook
This economic condition and outlook report outlines the level of economic activity throughout Fiscal Year 2016 and forecasts the area’s economic outlook for next fiscal year.
At the national level fiscal year 2016 saw a slowdown in economic activity, with real gross domestic product (GDP) increasing at an annual rate of 1.6 percent, compared to an increase of 2.8 percent in the prior year. The slowdown in GDP growth was brought about by a level of investment that went from positive 5.3 percent in fiscal year 2015 to negative 1.0 percent in fiscal year 2016 and by a slowdown in personal consumption from 2.8 percent to 1.6
percent between both fiscal years. Even though economic growth slowed due to energy prices finding their footing, inflation increased from a fiscal year 2015 record low of 0.3 percent to a still tepid 0.9 percent.
At the County level, the signs of an economy functioning at or near the mature stage of the cycle are clearly visible. Fiscal year 2016 closed with the lowest unemployment rate since 2007, and, after adding a smaller amount of workers to payrolls, fiscal year 2016 ended with the highest number of employed persons ever. Taxable sales surpassed the $50 billion mark for the first time despite a contraction in consumer durables.
Employment
During fiscal year 2016, nonagricultural wage and salary employment recorded an overall gain of approximately 20,210 jobs. This was an increase of 1.8 percent, to put total employment at a record high of 1,137,400 according to non-seasonally adjusted data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This gain in employment, however, represented a slowdown from the prior fiscal year. It also represents the first deceleration since fiscal year 2009 signaling a maturing labor market characterized by less slack. The average annual unemployment rate for the year stood at 5.6 percent, compared to 6.3 percent a year earlier. Moreover, unemployment rates have steadily decreased over the year from 6.0 percent in October of 2015 to 5.2 percent in September 2016.
All private economic sectors with the exception of manufacturing and information were contributors to employment growth. The top two sectors, in terms of job gains, were construction and education and health, registering gains of 5,330 and 3,640 jobs respectively. Significant job gains also occurred in professional and business services adding 3,610 positions and financial activities up 3,030 positions.
.
x
Real Estate Market
Traditionally, the real estate sector in Miami-Dade County is viewed as one of the most important measures of the County’s economic health. In fiscal year 2016, as prices continued to rise, single family home sales contracted for the first time since 2009 and condominium sales experienced a third year of decline. At the same time, distressed market activity appears to be winding down as new foreclosure filings continued to decline for the fourth year in a row.
During fiscal year 2016, sales of existing single-family homes decreased 7.3 percent over the prior fiscal year. Sales of condominiums dropped 12.4 percent over the prior year. The economic slowdown in the South American region might have contributed to both the slowdown in condominium sales and the decline in the share of all cash sales.
In terms of valuation, housing prices continued their upward trend in fiscal year 2016. The end of the fiscal year, 3rd quarter of 2016, saw the median sales price of an existing single-family home in Miami-Dade reach $298,000, up over 9.2 percent from the 3rd quarter of last year. Existing condominiums exhibited a 5.5 percent growth in the median sales price from the 3rd quarter of 2015 to $210,180.
Data from the County Clerk shows new foreclosure filings are continuing to trend downward, approaching levels not seen since 2005 and 2006 prior to the housing bubble collapse. 2016 saw 7,183 new filings. Real Estate Owned (REO’s), the final step of the foreclosure process when a property is sold by the bank, experienced a 39 percent reduction in fiscal year 2016. There were 4,271 REO sales in fiscal year 2016, below the 7,003 REO sales conducted in fiscal year 2015.
Mortgage rates on thirty year fixed rate mortgages in the Miami metropolitan area averaged 3.76 percent in 2016, down 18 basis points from the previous year.
The commercial/industrial components of the real estate market continued to improve on the gains from the previous year. Office vacancy declined 100 basis points to 10.1 percent from 11.1 percent a year earlier, prompting the average rate per square foot to increase by 4.7 percent. The retail vacancy rate dropped slightly from fiscal year 2015 to fiscal year 2016, from 3.5 percent to 3.2 percent. Average lease rates for retail stand-alone space were up 1.6 percent year over year to $36.40 per square foot while average lease rates in shopping centers dropped 2 percent from 2015 to $30.60 per square foot. The industrial market may be the strongest segment with a drop in the vacancy rate from 5.0 percent in 2015 to 4.1 percent in 2016. Average lease rates for Industrial space were up 14.9 percent in 2016 compared to 2015 to reach $10.56 per square foot.
.

Sales Indicators
Taxable sales rose an inflation adjusted 2.3 percent from fiscal year 2015 to fiscal year 2016 to surpass $50 billion dollars for the first time. With the exception of consumer durables, fiscal year 2016 saw increases across-the-board for all major categories compared to the previous year.
Auto and Accessories showed the fastest rate of growth, posting a 5.4 percent gain to $7.7 billion. Building investment had an increase of 2.5 percent to $2.0 billion and all consumer goods were down 0.3 percent to $19.6 billion. The 2.3 percent increase in taxable sales was reflected in Miami-Dade’s broad taxable sales market indicator, the Index of Retail Activity, which increased by 2.6 percent over the course of the fiscal year.
International Trade and Commerce
International trade and commerce is a key component of Miami-Dade’s economy. Since achieving its highest level ever measured by value in fiscal year 2013, merchandise trade passing through the Miami Customs District fell 15.3 percent in fiscal year 2016.
In contrast to the recurring merchandise trade deficits that the United States maintains year after year, the Miami Customs District exports more than it imports, resulting in a trade surplus. Although the surplus is still present it has been narrowing in the last five years. Exports registered a decrease of 8.7 percent compared to a decrease of 6.4 percent during the prior year. Imports increased by 3.4 percent following a decrease of 4 percent in the prior year. Most of the Miami Customs District export markets are in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean accounting for 77 percent of the total. In addition, the majority of all U.S. imported perishables from these same regions are passing through the Miami District. The decrease in trade flows reflects the sluggish performance in the economies of most of the countries in these regions.
Two of Miami-Dade County’s barometers of trade activity are the freight tonnage moving through Miami International Airport (“MIA”) and PortMiami (“the Port”). MIA overall air freight tonnage increased 0.6 percent. At the Port, cargo tonnage figures were up by 1.9 percent.
Tourism
The State of Florida played host to a record of more than 110 million overnight visitors for the first time in fiscal year 2016. Miami-Dade contributed to this feat by also posting its highest number of visitors in the fiscal year.
Visitors to the Miami area increased about 4.8 percent in fiscal year 2016. In total, there were 15.8 million overnight visitors, more than past year, up from 15.1 million recorded in
.
xii
fiscal year 2015. The growth in visitors came from both domestic and international markets, with 6.4 percent growth in domestic visitors and 3.1 percent growth in international visitors.
In conjunction with the increase in visitors, the Miami International Airport passenger levels reached 44.9 million in 2016, representing a gain of 3.6 percent. Passenger traffic at Port Miami increased 1.3 percent to 4.98 million passengers in 2016.
The higher number of visitors were accommodated by an increased hotel room inventory, leaving hotel occupancy rates lower with respect to a year ago. In fiscal year 2016, the hotel occupancy rate stood at 77.3 percent. The average hotel room rate remained unchanged at just over 190 dollars per night.
Future Outlook
Fiscal year 2016 displayed signs of a mature phase of the economic cycle. In such a phase employment is high and grows at a slow pace, the unemployment rate is low and if it drops, it does so modestly, and prices and wages tend to start rising. Going forward, fiscal year 2017 should display these same characteristics absent an external shock to the system.
Because of its location and economic trade and tourism ties, Miami-Dade’s economy is influenced by developments in both the broader US and Latin American economies.
Prospects for growth of the United States’ economy are thought to hold at a healthy 2.3 percent by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). A unified government may lead to a more expansionary fiscal policy than had been possible up to 2016.
Within the United States, Florida is particularly well suited to continue to benefit from an expansion of the nation’s economy
and low oil prices due to its positive effect on transportation and tourism.
At the same time economic conditions in Latin America should begin to stabilize as the region finds its footing after the downturn experienced in fiscal year 2016. The combination of a strong US dollar and continued weakness in Latin America is expected to prolong the strengthening of imports and weakening of exports in the Miami Customs District.
Real estate and construction activity in fiscal year 2017 is expected to continue to moderate as foreign buyers retreat and the effects of years of real estate appreciation affect affordability for residents.

Employment should continue to grow given the health of the overall economy, but at a slower pace given that both idle workers and economic resources are harder to come by.
A smaller drop in the unemployment rate than that experienced this year is likely to occur in fiscal year 2017. The higher utilization rate of economic inputs coupled with a more expansionary fiscal policy should put upward pressure on wages and prices.
Evaluating all the likely developments in major areas of the economy leads to a forecast that the Miami-Dade economy appears poised to continue growing through fiscal year 2017. There is expected to be continued improvements on the local economic front with somewhat slower growth rates, as the economy reaches closer to full capacity. The degree of expansion will depend upon the stability in government employment, moderate growth in the tourism, real estate and construction sectors and growth rates in Central and South America and the Caribbean.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This report has been prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standard Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments. The Statement requires that the basic financial statements include: 1) government-wide statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. Other supplementary information and statistical data is also included in the report. A graphical illustration is presented below — Chart 1.
The GASB Statement No. 34 reporting model focuses attention on the County as a whole (government-wide) and on the major individual funds. Both perspectives allow the user to address relevant questions, broaden the basis for comparison and enhance the County’s accountability.
Government-wide statements. Two government-wide statements are presented: the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. These statements provide information on the County as a whole using the accrual basis of accounting similar to those of private-sector companies. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes increases or decreases in economic resources as soon as the underlying transaction takes place. Therefore, all of the current year’s revenues and expenses are reported regardless of when cash is received or paid. The economic resources measurement focus is applied to all long-term and short-term financial assets and liabilities, as well as all capital assets. These statements include the County and its component units, except for funds that are fiduciary in nature.
The Statement of Net Position presents information for all of the County’s governmental and business-type activities. Increases or decreases in net position may be useful in assessing the County’s financial position.

The Statement of Activities presents the change in net position over the fiscal year being reported. The format for this statement reports the net (expense) revenue of each of the County’s functions (groups of related activities which provide a major service). It identifies the extent to which each function is either self-supporting or relies on general revenues of the County. The County’s general revenues, such as taxes, shared revenues from the State of Florida, investment earnings, and transfers, are reported after the total net expense of the County functions.
In the government-wide statements, financial information is provided separately for:
Governmental activities. Policy Formulation and General Government, Protection of People and Property, Culture and Recreation, and Physical Environment are examples of governmental activities. These activities are principally supported by general revenues, grants or contributions.
Business-type activities. The operations of the Airport, the Seaport, the Water and Sewer Department, the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, the Transit Enterprise Fund and the Public Health Trust are the County’s major business-type activities. These activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external users for goods and services.
Component units. Component units are legally separate entities for which the County is financially accountable. The Miami-Dade Housing Finance Authority and the Jackson Health Foundation are component units of the County.
Fund financial statements. Fund financial statements have traditionally been presented in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (the “CAFR”). A fund is a set of self-balancing accounts that are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives, as required by special regulations, restrictions or limitations. The Miami-Dade County’s funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds account for most of the County’s basic services, which are reported as governmental activities in the government-wide statements. Fund statements, however, use the modified accrual basis of accounting and current financial resources measurement focus. The aim of the statements is to report the near-term (current) inflows and outflows, and the balances of spendable financial resources at the end of the fiscal year. The statements provide a short-term view of the County’s ability to finance its programs in the near future, in contrast to the long-term view provided by the government-wide statements. To facilitate comparison, reconciliations are presented for thegovernmental funds’ balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance to the government-wide statements.
The governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance include separate columns for the County’s major fund, the General Fund, and Other Governmental Funds in the aggregate. Individual fund statements for the Other Governmental Funds are

included in the combining statements in the supplementary information section of the CAFR.
Proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are those funds where the County charges a user fee in order to recover costs. The County’s proprietary funds are enterprise funds and internal service funds.
1. Enterprise funds are used to finance and account for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of facilities and services that are intended to be entirely or predominantly self-supporting through the collection of charges from external customers. Enterprise funds are used to report the same activities as the business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The County has six major enterprise funds.
2. Internal service funds are used to report any activity that provides goods and services to other funds, departments, or agencies of the County, on a reimbursement basis. The County’s Self-Insurance Fund is an internal service fund. In the statement of activities, any profit or loss in the Self-Insurance Fund is allocated back to the different functions that participated in the fund. Because the Self-Insurance Fund predominantly serves the government, assets and liabilities of the Self-Insurance Fund are included within the governmental activities in the statement of net position.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others. The County currently has funds held in an agency capacity for the Clerk of the Circuit and County Court and the Tax Collector, as well as other funds placed in escrow pending distributions. The County also has a Pension Trust Fund that accounts for the Public Health Trust Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. These funds cannot be used to support the County’s own programs, and therefore, are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes include various disclosures to ensure a complete picture is presented in the financial statements. They provide information useful in understanding the data presented in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Other information. This report also includes as required supplementary information various schedules, including a schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances – budget and actual, for the General Fund. There are also additional disclosures for Public Health Trust Pension Fund, the Florida Retirement System (FRS) Pension Plan, the Florida Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) Pension Plan, and the Miami-Dade County Retiree Health Plan. Combining and individual fund statements and budget comparisons for non-major funds are located in the pages following the notes to the financial statements.

Additionally, $2.7 billion are restricted resources subject to external restrictions on how they may be spent.
At September 30, 2016, the County had an unrestricted net position deficit of $3.0 billion. The governmental activities unrestricted net position deficit of $3.0 billion is primarily due to the liability for County employees’ compensated absences of $419.3 million, the Florida Retirement System (FRS) net pension liability of $1.6 billion and the Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) net pension liability of $576.6 million (see Note 9), and other unfunded liabilities.

Financial Analysis of the County’s Funds
Governmental Funds. The County’s governmental funds reported combined fund balance of $1.876 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $66.2 million or 3.7% from the prior year’s fund balance. Of the total fund balance, $174.6 million is assigned and $64.9 million is unassigned. These totaled $239.5 million or 12.8% of fund balance, and constituted the fund balance that is accessible to meet the County’s needs. The remainder of the governmental funds balance includes $35.3 million in the nonspendable category for items that are not expected to be converted to cash, such as inventories; $1.6 billion restricted for various programs and $.8 million committed for other purposes.
The General Fund is the County’s main operating fund and is used to account for most of its governmental activities. As of September 30, 2016, its total fund balance was $361.3 million, of which $174.6 million was assigned fund balance and $81.3 was unassigned. Total General Fund balance represents 22.3% of total General Fund expenditures. The General Fund’s total revenues exceeded expenditures by $466.1 million in fiscal year 2016. Net transfers out were $447.1 million and other financing sources of $10.9 million, resulted in total fund balance increase of $30.3 million.
Enterprise Funds. The proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide statements, but in more detail.
Miami-Dade Transit Enterprise Fund (“MDT”) MDT’s net position was $547.2 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $22.9 million from fiscal year 2015. MDT generated $118.1 million in operating revenues in fiscal year 2016, a decrease of $8.3 million. MDT’s total operating expenses, including depreciation, totaled $599.8 million in fiscal year 2016, which resulted in an operating loss of $481.7 million. Non-operating revenues, contributions and transfers in totaled $504.6 million.
As of September 30, 2016, the MDT had a cash deficit of approximately $186.5 million as compared to $130.4 million from the previous year. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the cash deficits are funded with cash advances from the County’s General Fund. This deficit will be reimbursed from federal and state grantor agencies and excludes a cash balance of $227.0 million, which mainly represents the unspent proceeds of surtax bonds issued to fund the People’s Transportation Plan (PTP) projects and debt service reserve account. The deficit is shown in the financial statements as a current liability and included as a part of “due to other County funds” balance in the amount of $186.5 million. MDT continues to be dependent on funding from the County and various other governmental entities.
Waste Management Enterprise Fund (“WM”) WM’s net position was $266.3 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $36.0 million from fiscal year 2015. This increase is a result of operating income of $40.0 million and contributions of $0.3 million offset by non-operating expenses of $4.4 million. Operating revenues increased by $.7 million from $267.4 million in fiscal year 2015 to $268.1 million in fiscal year 2016 as a result of higher Solid Waste Collection Services Revenues, Utility Service Fees and Other Operating Revenues. The increase was partially offset by decreases in Solid Waste Disposal Services, electricity sales, and other operating revenues. Operating expenses before depreciation and closure and postclosure care costs for inactive landfills, remained basically the same, reflecting a minor $3.3 million increase from $218.2 million in fiscal year 2015 to $221.5 million in fiscal year 2016. This increase in operating expenses is
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA
16
primarily due to higher balances in general and administrative, enforcement and environmental compliance, trash collection and facility maintenance expenditures, partially offset by declines in all other operating expense line items.
Miami-Dade Seaport Department The Seaport Department’s net position was $166.1 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $6.5 million from fiscal year 2015. This increase is due to operating income of $42.1 million and capital contribution of $3.2 million, offset by nonoperating expenses of $38.8 million. The Seaport Department’s operating revenues for the 2016 fiscal year were $143.9 million, an increase of approximately $7.8 million from the prior year. The increase is primarily attributed to increases in cruise tariff and related cruise activity, increase in cargo activity, and new open ground rental agreements. Operating expenses before depreciation and amortization totaled $71.3 million, an increase of $4.6 million from prior year. The increase in operating expenses was a result of increased repair costs for certain gantry cranes and buildings.
Miami-Dade Aviation Department The Aviation Department’s net position totaled $967.8 million at September 30, 2016, an increase $14.1 million from fiscal year 2015. This increase is a result of operating income of $158.4 million and capital contributions of $44.0 million, offset by net nonoperating expenses of $188.3 million. The Aviation Department had operating revenues of $830.7 million in fiscal year 2016, an increase of $36.3 million from prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in landing fees, international facilities charges, rental charges, and other operating revenue, as well as reduction in the environmental remediation liability. Operating expenses before depreciation and amortization totaled $412.8 million, a decrease of $13.2 million from prior year. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributed to a decrease in general and administrative expenses and repair and maintenance expenses.
Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (“WASD”) WASD’s net position totaled $2.3 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $130.3 million from prior year. This increase was a result of operating income of $86.9 million and capital contributions of $53.6 million, offset by net nonoperating expenditures of $10.2 million. WASD’s operating revenues were $659.8 million in fiscal year 2016, an increase of $46.5 million from fiscal year 2015. This increase is a result of higher water and wastewater revenues due to higher rates and usage. Operating and maintenance expenses totaled $388.5 million in fiscal year 2016, an increase of $19.6 million from prior year. The increase is due primarily to a higher level of administrative support charges, and chemicals expenses.
Public Health Trust (“PHT” or “Trust”) During fiscal year 2016 PHT’s net position increased by $73.4 million. The increase for the current fiscal year consisted of $440.9 million, including depreciation of $55.7 million, of operating loss offset by $514.3 million from nonoperating revenues. PHT had operating revenues of $1.314 billion in fiscal year 2016, an increase of $61.8 million from prior year. The majority of the increase in revenues is a result of low income pool (LIP) dollars received through patient revenue in fiscal year 2016, the result strengthening of patient cash collections, and improved revenue cycle processes. Operating expenses totaled $1.7 billion, an increase of $163.2 million. This was a result of an increase in personnel expenses in fiscal year 2016, which relates to several key operating initiatives to align the staffing needs of the organization to volume and increased supplies and other related costs.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
During fiscal year 2016, the General Fund’s budget was amended two times. These budget amendments or supplemental appropriations reflect the change in projected expenditures that occurred since the budget hearings were held in September 2015, and distribute allocated funds among various County agencies from appropriate reserves and sources. Some of the major amendments include: $4.38 million from prior year unexpended balances to the Office of the Board of County Commissioners; $2.19 million to the Animal Services Department to cover higher than anticipated expenditures related to the opening of the new Pet Adoption and Protection Center in June 2016, the funding comes from higher than budgeted animal license fee revenues; and $25.6 million supplemental budget to the Information Technology Department for expenses related to the consolidation of countywide information technology functions, this is fully funded from internal department charges.
General Fund Budgeted Revenues Compared to Actual Revenues
During the year actual revenues exceeded budgetary revenue estimates by $31.8 million. The most significant changes occurred in the following categories:
Taxes were $10.6 million under budget in spite of a $4.5 million increase in local option tax. A decrease in property taxes compared to budget of $10 million was due to the resolution of 2014 and 2015 tax roll year backlog of Value Adjustment Board (VAB) appeals processed during fiscal year 2016. Additionally, communication taxes reported a $5.4 million decrease compared to budget.
Licenses and Permits were $12.7 million over budget, primarily due to an increase of $13.0 million in building permits and other licenses as a result of increased building activity, offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in franchise fees.
Intergovernmental Revenues were $13.0 million over the budget primarily due to higher than anticipated state sales tax revenues of $7.9 million and higher state revenue sharing of $3.1 million, primarily from increases in retail sales resulting from increased tourism and improved economic conditions, and $1.7 million higher gasoline and motor fuel taxes.
Charges for Services were $8.5 million over budget primarily due to stormwater utility fees of $8.2 million over budget.

General Fund Budgeted Expenditures Compared to Actual Expenditures
Differences between the final budgets and the actual expenditures resulted in $51.8 million in expenditure savings.
The following items explain significant changes in General Fund expenditures as compared to the final budget:
Policy Formulation and General Government expenditures were $23.8 million under budget. This was primarily due to savings of $4.0 million from the Clerk of Circuit and County Court as a result of lower than projected statewide revenues. The Clerk and County Court imposed a mid-year budget reduction for all Clerk offices resulting in the elimination of 169 positions and not filling vacant positions creating additional salary and fringe benefit savings. The Communications department had savings of $3.8 million due to reduction in sponsorship and marketing expenditures. Another $13.0 million in savings were realized from salaries and fringes costs and other expenditures from the Finance, Property Appraiser, Judicial Administration, Internal Services and Elections departments due to delays in hiring and operational savings.
Protection of People and Property expenditures were $17.3 million under budget. This primarily resulted from higher attrition due to unanticipated early retirements in the Police Department resulting in a savings of $11.7 million and another $3.2 million in savings from the Corrections & Rehabilitation due to identified deficiencies and cost saving measures throughout the year.
Transportation expenditures were $6.3 million under budget for the Transportation and Public Works Department due to additional expense reimbursements of $3.0 million from Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT) and $0.4 million from Secondary Gas Tax for eligible transportation-related activities, an additional $1.7 million savings was realized from lower communication charges in fiscal year 2016.
Overall, General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures by $466.1 million, an increase of $4.7 million from $461.4 million in fiscal year 2015. Capital lease arrangements totaling $10.9 million, transfers in from other funds amounted to $31.5 million, while transfers out were $478.6 million. This contributed to a year end fund balance of $361.3 million, an increase of $30.3 million from the prior year’s fund balance of $331.0 million.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1-A. Reporting Entity Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “County”) is an instrumentality of the State of Florida established by an amendment to the Florida State Constitution adopted May 21, 1957 as the Dade County Home Rule Charter, to carry on a centralized government.
The Board of County Commissioners (the “BCC”) is the legislative body, consisting of 13 members elected from single-member districts. Members are elected to serve four-year terms, and elections of members are staggered. The BCC chooses a Chairperson, who presides over the Commission, as well as appoints the members of its legislative committees. The BCC has a wide array of powers to enact legislation, create departments, and regulate business operating within the County. It also has the power to override the Mayor’s veto with a two-thirds vote.
The Mayor is elected by qualified voters of the county at large for a four-year term, for a maximum of two consecutive four-year terms. The Mayor is the head of the county government with specified powers and responsibilities, including the management of all administrative departments of the County government and for carrying out policies adopted by the BCC. On January 23, 2007, the electors of Miami-Dade County approved an amendment to the Home Rule Charter which established a Strong Mayor form of government. This amendment expands the Mayor’s powers over administrative matters. Under this new system, the Mayor appoints all department heads.
The Mayor has veto authority over any legislative decision of the BCC, if acted upon within ten days of the final adoption by the BCC. The BCC may at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the veto occurs, override that veto by a two-thirds vote of the Commissioners present. On January 29, 2008, a charter amendment was approved to make the Property Appraiser an elected position.
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of Miami-Dade County. The General Fund accounts for revenues, expenditures, sources and uses of the general government except those required or assigned to be accounted for in other funds.
The financial reporting entity for which the accompanying financial statements are prepared includes the County (primary government) and its component units. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the County is financially accountable. Financial accountability is defined as either 1) the appointment of a voting majority of the component unit’s board and I) the County’s ability to impose its will on the component unit’s board, or II) the possibility that the component unit will provide a financial benefit to or impose a financial burden to the County or 2) the component unit is fiscally dependent on the County and the possibility that the component unit will provide a financial benefit to or impose a financial burden to the County.
The financial position and result of operations of the following entities and constitutional officer are blended with the primary government in the accompanying financial statements.
Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts of Miami-Dade County, Florida, Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida (the “Clerk”) The Clerk is an elected official pursuant to Article V of the Florida Constitution. The Clerk serves two capacities: Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts and Clerk, Ex-Officio of the Board of County Commissioners. Under the first function the Clerk provides support to the Courts (Civil, Family, Criminal and Traffic). His ex-officio functions include Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, County Auditor, Custodian of Public Funds and County Recorder.
Effective July 1, 2004, Constitutional Revision 7 to Article V of the Florida Constitution allocated State court system funding among the State, counties and users of courts. It specifically addressed funding responsibilities, functional responsibilities, management structure and operational efficiencies. Funding responsibilities were defined as pertaining to the State court system when the
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
51
Clerk served in his capacity as Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts and to the Board of County Commissioners (the Board) when serving as ex-officio of the Board. Consequently, the Clerk prepares a budget in two parts.
From July 1, 2009 through the SFY June 30, 2013 the Florida Legislature decreed that the Clerks of Court be funded from State appropriations. Legislation enacted in 2013, removed the Clerks from the State appropriations process and returned them to a county fiscal year. Effective July 1, 2013 the Clerk’s Offices were funded from filing fees, service charges, court costs and fines. Each Clerk’s Office now submits its budget request to the Clerk of Courts Operations Corporation (CCOC), who submits them to the Legislative Budget Commission (LBC) for final approval. The LBC shall approve, disapprove, or amend and approve the total of the Clerk’s combined budget or any individual Clerk’s budget.
The budget for the ex-officio capacity is funded by the BCC as part of the County’s annual budget whereby the Clerk remits all fees and other monies earned in the agency funds to the County for appropriation by the Board. As a result of the budgetary control by the County and its financial dependency on the County, financial information for the Clerk is presented as a special revenue fund and has been blended with the Miami-Dade primary government.
Naranja Lakes Community Redevelopment Agency (the “NLCRA”)The NLCRA trust fund was created by the BCC on May 6, 2003 as a redevelopment trust fund to be funded with ad valorem tax increment revenues to finance or refinance proposed community redevelopment in the NLCRA area. The BCC appointed the NLCRA Board of Commissioners and delegated certain powers to it. As per the Ordinance creating the NLCRA, Miami-Dade County is obligated to continue to fund the NLCRA annually until all debt incurred by the trust fund has been paid. All other powers not specifically delegated to the NLCRA are reserved exclusively by the BCC. Financial information for the NLCRA for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 has been blended with the Miami-Dade County primary government in this report. Trust fund revenues and expenditures during the period were $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The ending fund balance for the NLCRA was $1.4 million.
7th Avenue Community Redevelopment Agency (the “7th Avenue CRA”)The 7th Avenue CRA trust fund was created by the BCC on June 22, 2004 as a redevelopment trust fund to be funded with ad valorem tax increment revenues to finance or refinance proposed community redevelopment in the 7th Avenue CRA area. The BCC appointed the 7th Avenue Board of Commissioners and delegated certain powers to it. As per the Ordinance creating the 7th
Avenue CRA, Miami-Dade County is obligated to continue to fund the 7th Avenue CRA annually until all debt incurred by the trust fund has been paid. All other powers not specifically delegated to the NW 79th St. CRA are reserved exclusively by the BCC. Financial information for the 7th
Avenue CRA for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 has been blended with the Miami-Dade County primary government in this report. Trust fund revenues and expenditures during the period were $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The ending fund balance for the 7th Avenue CRA was $2.0 million.
West Perrine Community Redevelopment Agency (the “WPCRA”) The WPCRA was created by the BCC on June 5, 2007 as a redevelopment trust fund to be funded with ad valorem tax increment revenues to finance or refinance proposed community redevelopment in the CRA area. The BCC appointed itself as the Board of the WPCRA. As per the Ordinance creating the WPCRA, Miami-Dade County is obligated to continue to fund the WPCRA annually until all debt incurred by the trust fund has been paid. Financial information for the WPCRA for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 has been blended with the Miami-Dade County primary government in this report. Trust fund revenues and expenditures during the period were $1,166 and $77,752 respectively. The ending fund balance of the WPCRA was $0.5 million.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NW 79th Street Corridor Community Redevelopment Agency (the “NW 79th St. CRA”) The NW 79th Street CRA was created by the BCC on July 19, 2011 as a redevelopment trust fund to be funded with ad valorem tax increment revenues to finance or refinance proposed community redevelopment in the CRA area. The BCC appointed the NW 79th St. CRA’s Board of Commissioners and delegated certain powers to it. As per the Ordinance creating the NW 79th St. CRA, Miami-Dade County is obligated to continue to fund the NW 79th St. CRA annually until all debt incurred by the trust fund has been paid. All other powers not specifically delegated to the NW 79th St. CRA are reserved exclusively by the BCC. Financial information for the NW 79th St. CRA for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 has been blended with the Miami-Dade County primary government in this report. Trust fund revenues and expenditures during the period were $1 and $3,739, respectively. The ending fund balance of the NW 79th St. CRA was $(2,423).
The Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue Service District (the “MDFRSD”) was created by the BCC by Ordinance No. 80-86. The services provided by MDFRSD include a uniform level of fire and rescue service throughout the County and to those governmental entities that from time to time contract with MDFRSD. The initial boundaries of the MDFRSD are the geographic boundaries of Miami-Dade County, excluding any municipality which opted out of the MDFRSD prior to the date it was created. Any municipality may join MDFRSD through the enactment of an ordinance passed by a majority of its governing body and a resolution passed by a majority of the BCC. The Board of County Commissioners is the governing body of the MDFRSD, and the County has operational responsibility for the MDFRSD. Additionally, given the MDFRSD is fiscally dependent on Miami-Dade County, its financial information has been blended with that of the primary government and is included in the Fire Rescue Special Revenue Fund in the Supplemental Information schedules.
The Miami-Dade Library District (the “MDLD”) In 1966 the County tax assessor was directed, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 150.08(1) Florida Statutes, to assess the millage for the Special District Library Fund upon all taxable property of the unincorporated area of Dade County and certain municipalities not already taxed for library services. All other municipalities, which were already taxing their citizens for municipal library services, were exempted from this special purpose district tax. Over the years since 1966 the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, and Homestead have joined the Library Taxing District and no longer levy their own municipal library tax. The Board of County Commissioners is the governing body of the MDLD, and the County has operational responsibility for the MDLD. Additionally, given the MDLD is fiscally dependent on Miami-Dade County, its financial information has been blended with that of the primary government and is included in the Public Library Special Revenue Fund in the Supplemental Information schedules.
The Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (the “MPO”) The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1962 mandated that as a condition for the receipt of federal funds, each urban area with a population over 50,000 in the United States was required to carry on a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive transportation planning process. The MPO for the Miami Urbanized Area guides the transportation planning process in Miami-Dade County. The MPO was created on March 23, 1977 as required under Section 163.01, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and established by Interlocal Agreement between Miami-Dade County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
A new Management Services Agreement between the MPO and the County was entered into on July 1, 2013. It was agreed that the County furnish the MPO with the professional, technical and administrative staff; supplies, equipment, office and other incidental items necessary to carry on the transportation planning and programming process. Such services are limited to those specified and allocated to the County in the biennial Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) budget and all approved budgets under Federal or State grant contracts with the MPO. The MPO’s annual budget from July 1 to June 30 fiscal year basis shall be approved by the MPO Governing Board. The records and accounts of the MPO are administered by the County in accordance with accounts and accounting procedures that are developed by the County for the MPO. Contracts and bids for the purchase of material and services are to be in accordance with County procedures for the same
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
53
purposes, with certain exceptions by action of the MPO Governing Board. All monies received by the MPO shall be deposited with the County in a trust account and applied only in accordance with Federal or State law. The MPO agrees to reimburse the County for all services rendered under the agreement as specified in the UPWP and approved annual budgets.
A major role of the MPO is to ensure conformance with federal regulations requiring that highways, mass transit and other transportation facilities and services are properly developed and deployed in relation to the overall plan of urban development and to approve plans for regional and state transportation network accessibility. In addition, federal guidelines require that the use of Federal Aid for transportation be consistent with MPO endorsed plans and programs. Federal, state and local transportation planning funds are utilized on an ongoing basis to insure the effectiveness of the MPO process.
The MPO is legally separate from the County, however, the 13 members of the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners BCC make up a voting majority of the MPO Governing Board (13 out of 23 voting members) and therefore the BCC may impose its will on the MPO. Financial information of the MPO has been blended with the Miami-Dade County primary government, and is included in the Metropolitan Planning Organization Special Revenue Fund in the Supplemental Information schedules.
The financial position and result of operations of the following component units are discretely presented in the accompanying financial statements:
Housing Finance Authority (the “HFA”) The Housing Finance Authority of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “HFA” or “Authority”) was created by an act of the state legislature and by County Ordinance 78-89 adopted on December 12, 1978. The Authority is a semiautonomous component unit of Miami-Dade County, which performs solely in an advisory capacity to the Board of County Commissioners of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “BCC”). The authority's principal function is to provide financing for residential housing to be occupied by persons or families of moderate, middle or lesser income.
On December 6, 2011, the County passed and adopted Ordinance 11-99 amending Section 2-191.7 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, pertaining to the Authority. This ordinance eliminates the need for the Board of County Commissioners to approve in advance (i) the issuance and sale of bonds (other than for purposes of TEFRA) by the Authority; (ii) the rules and regulations for the Authority program eligibility; and (iii) contracts to be entered into by the Authority. The BCC appoints the thirteen members of its governing Board. The BCC also has the ability to remove appointed members of the Authority’s Board without cause by a three-fifths vote of the governing body of the County per Section 159.607 of the Florida Statutes. As a result of the BCC’s ability to appoint and remove members of the Authority Board, it has the ability to impose its will on the HFA. The Authority is reported as a discretely presented component unit of the County in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements.
Complete financial statements of the HFA may be obtained directly from their administrative offices at: Housing Finance Authority of Miami-Dade County, 7855 NW 12th Street, Suite 102, Miami, Florida 33126. Telephone (305) 594-2518.
Jackson Health Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation”) Established in 1991 as Jackson Memorial Foundation, the organization was renamed Jackson Health Foundation in 2014 to more closely align with the Jackson Health System. The Foundation is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of the County. The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the Public Health Trust in support of its programs. The board of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of community members. Although the County does not control the timing or amount of the receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources and income that the Foundation holds and invests
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
54
are restricted to the activities of the Public Health Trust by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the Public Health Trust, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the County. Financial information for the Foundation is presented in a separate column in the County’s government-wide financial statements.
Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained at: Jackson Health Foundation, Inc., 901 NW 17th Street, Plaza Park East - Suite G, Miami, Florida 33136. Telephone (305) 355-4999.
The following component units had zero revenues and expenditures and no fund balance at September 30, 2016.
Educational Facilities Authority (the “EFA”) The Miami-Dade Educational Facilities Authority was created by the BCC on October 22, 1969, pursuant to Chapter 69-345, Florida Statutes, empowering it to issue tax-exempt bonds for the purpose of enabling institutions of higher education to provide facilities and structures, including the refinancing of the same, pursuant to Chapter 243, Part II, Florida Statutes. Neither the notes, bonds nor any other obligation incurred by the EFA shall be deemed a pledge of the faith or credit of Miami-Dade County. Any expenditures incurred by the EFA shall be payable solely from funds provided under the authority of Chapter 69-345.
Health Facilities Authority The Miami-Dade County Health Facilities Authority was created by the BCC on October 16, 1979 pursuant to Section 154.207, Florida Statutes, empowering it to issue tax-exempt bonds for the purpose of assisting in the development and maintenance of the health facilities of Miami-Dade County. All bonds issued by the Health Facilities Authority shall not be deemed to constitute debt, liability or obligation of Miami-Dade County or a pledge of the faith and credit of Miami-Dade County.
Related Organizations:
The following entities are those in which the County appoints a voting majority of the governing board; however, the County is not financially accountable for these entities.
Industrial Development Authority (the “IDA”) The Miami-Dade County IDA was created by the BCC on March 21, 1978, pursuant to Chapter 159, Sections 159.44 through 159.53, Florida Statutes. The IDA develops and manages the Tax-Exempt Industrial Development Revenue Bond Program that serves as a financial incentive to support private sector business and industry expansion and location in Miami-Dade County. The Commission appoints the members of IDA’s governing board. However, the County is not financially accountable for IDA because it cannot impose its will on the organization. IDA bonds are not obligations of the County. Its operations neither provide a financial benefit to nor impose a financial burden on the County and are not included in the financial statements of Miami-Dade County.
Financial statements for the IDA may be obtained directly from their administrative offices at: Miami-Dade Industrial Development Authority, 80 SW 8th Street, Suite 2801, Miami, Florida 33130. Telephone (305) 579-0070.
Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (the “MDXA”) The MDXA is an agency of the State of Florida. It constructs, maintains and operates the expressway system located in Miami-Dade County. The Commission appoints a voting majority of the MDXA governing board. However, the County is not financially accountable for the MDXA, and the MDXA is therefore not included in the accompanying financial statements.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
55
Financial statements for the MDXA may be obtained directly from their administrative offices at: Miami-Dade Expressway Authority, 3790 NW 21st Street, Miami, Florida 33142. Telephone (305) 637-3277.
Performing Arts Center Trust (the “PACT”) The PACT, a non-profit corporation, was created by the BCC in 1991 to oversee the planning, design, construction and operation of the Performing Arts Center. The Mayor of Miami-Dade County appoints the 32 trustees of the PACT, a majority of which is predetermined by ordinance or selected by others outside the County government; hence the Mayor’s appointment authority is not substantive. The PACT is financially independent from the County, and Miami-Dade County is not entitled to, nor has the ability to otherwise access, the economic resources of the PACT. Therefore, the PACT is not included in the accompanying financial statements.
Financial statements for the PACT may be obtained directly from their administrative offices at: Performing Arts Center Trust, 1300 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida 33132. Telephone (786) 468-2210.
1-B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, Basis of Presentation In addition to the government-wide statements, separate financial statements are presented for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. The financial statements may differ in terms of the measurement focus and basis of accounting used to prepare them, as discussed below.
The government-wide statements, proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Agency funds, however, report only assets and liabilities. Since an operating statement is not presented, agency funds have no measurement focus. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of when the related cash flow occurs. Property taxes are recorded as revenues in the year for which they are levied, and grants and other similar non-exchange transactions are recorded as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met.
The governmental fund financial statements are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are both measurable and available. For the purpose of revenue recognition, “available” means that the revenues are collectible within the current period or within 90 days from fiscal year end, with the exception of expenditure driven (reimbursement) grants, for which the availability period is one year. When the primary eligibility requirement under a grant is incurring an eligible expenditure, the County recognizes revenue at the time the expenditure is incurred, subject to availability criteria. Major revenue sources include property taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other consumption type taxes. Prior year property taxes billed but uncollected as of the end of the fiscal year are reflected as delinquent taxes receivable with an offsetting allowance account.
Amounts related to governmental fund receivables that are measurable, but not available, are recorded as deferred inflow of resources in the governmental fund statements. Revenues that are not considered measurable are recognized when received by the County. Amounts received that do not meet revenue recognition requirements (not earned) are recorded as unearned revenue in the governmental fund statements and in the government-wide statements.
Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, expenditures related to compensated absences, pension obligations, other post-employment benefits, claims and judgments, pollution remediation, and other long-term obligations, which are recorded only when payment is due.
The above differences in measurement focus and basis of accounting result in differences in the amounts reported as net position and changes in net position in the governmental activities in the government-wide
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
56
statements from the amounts reported in the governmental fund statements. Those differences are briefly explained in the reconciliation statements included in the governmental fund statements.
Government-wide financial statements:The accompanying financial statements include a government-wide statement of activities and a government-wide statement of net position. These statements report information on the County as a whole and its component units. They do not include the fiduciary activities of the County.
In the government-wide statements, the primary government (the County) is reported separately from its component units (the Housing Finance Authority and the Jackson Health Foundation), which are discretely presented. Governmental activities and business-type activities of the County are presented separately. Governmental activities are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. Business-type activities rely mostly on charges for services for support.
The statement of activities shows the extent to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by its program revenues. The direct expenses of a function are clearly identifiable with that function. The program revenues of a function include: (1) amounts charged to those who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods or services provided by the function, (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to operational uses by the function, and (3) grants and contributions that are restricted to capital uses by the function. All revenues other than program revenues are considered to be general revenues and are shown in the bottom section of the statement of activities. They include all taxes (even those levied for a particular function), unrestricted intergovernmental revenues, unrestricted investment earnings and other miscellaneous non-program revenues.
The government-wide statement of net position reports all financial and capital resources of the County, as well as its liabilities. The difference between assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows are reported as net position. Net position is displayed in three components:
The Net investment in capital assets component of net position consists of: capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) and deferred outflow of resources for losses on refunding transactions; reduced by the outstanding balance of debt related to the acquisition or construction of those assets and deferred inflow of resources for gains on refunding transactions.
The Restricted component of net position consists of restricted net assets (where constraints on their use are: (1) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments, or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation), reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.
The Unrestricted component of net position (deficit) consists of the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of the other two components of net position. Deficits will require future funding.
Fund financial statements: The accompanying financial report includes separate financial statements for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds (though fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide statements). The fund financial statements present major individual funds in separate columns. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as non-major funds.
Major Governmental Funds The following major governmental funds are included in the County’s financial statements:
General Fund: The General Fund is the primary operating fund of Miami-Dade County, Florida. It accounts for the revenues, expenditures, sources and uses of the general government, except those required or assigned to be accounted for in other funds.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Proprietary Funds Operating vs. Nonoperating Items The County’s proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items in their statements of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net position. In general, operating revenues result from charges to customers for the purchase or use of the proprietary fund’s principal product or service. Operating expenses relate to the cost of providing those services or producing and delivering those goods, and also include administrative expenses, depreciation of capital assets, and closure and postclosure care costs for active and inactive landfills.
All other revenues and expenses that do not result from the fund’s principal ongoing operations are considered to be nonoperating. Examples of other nonoperating items include investment earnings, interest expense, grants and contributions, and passenger facility charges.
Grants from Government Agencies Certain operating grants under various federal and state programs are included in the Special Revenue Funds. Grant monies received are disbursed by these funds for goods and services as prescribed under the respective grant program or are transferred to other County funds for ultimate distribution under the terms of the grants. These programs are dependent on the continued financial assistance of the state or federal government.
Grants designated as operating subsidies to enterprise funds are recorded as nonoperating revenues upon compliance with the grant’s eligibility requirements. Grant monies designated for use in acquiring property or equipment are recorded as capital contributions.
Interfund Activity As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide statements. An exception to this rule is that charges for services provided by the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund and the Waste Management Enterprise Fund have not been eliminated from the statement of activities. Elimination of these charges would understate the expenses of the user function and the program revenues of the function providing the services. Also, the General Fund charges certain funds for administrative cost overhead based on a cost allocation plan. An adjustment has been made to the government-wide statements to eliminate the revenue and expense reported in the General Fund so that the administrative expense is shown only by the funds/activities that were charged.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments (exclusive of the those reported for the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida, Defined Benefit Retirement Plan, Note 9)
Cash includes cash on hand, amounts in demand deposits, and positions in investment pools that can be deposited or withdrawn without notice or penalty. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid securities with maturities when acquired of three months or less.
The County follows the provisions of GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and External Investment Pools, GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

and Application, and other related standards which established accounting and financial reporting standards for all investments, including fair value standards.
Investments such as U.S. agency coupon issues and bullets are considered to be participating when their value is affected by market (interest rate) changes. All investments are reported at fair value as determined from quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses due to variations in fair value are recognized for the year. Interest-earning investment contracts (such as nonnegotiable certificates of deposit) are considered to be nonparticipating when their redemption terms are not affected by market rates. The County normally holds these to term and does not record any interim gain or loss. Nonparticipating investments are reported at amortized cost (cost plus accrued interest), assuming their value is not affected by the credit standing of the financial institution or other factors. Money market investments and participating interest-earning investment contracts that have maturities of one year or less from the date of their acquisition are reported at amortized cost rather than fair value. Amortized cost reasonably approximates fair value.
Derivative Instruments GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, addresses the recognition, measurement and disclosure of information regarding derivative instruments entered into by state and local governments. The Statement requires governments to report their derivatives at fair value on the statement of net position. If a derivative instrument is determined to be effective at reducing an identified risk, the changes in fair value should be deferred until a termination event occurs. If a derivative instrument is determined to be ineffective, the change in fair value should be reported as investment income in the period in which it occurs.
The County has entered into several interest rate swap agreements that have been determined to be ineffective and are therefore reported as investment-type derivatives. Because there is no financial risk being hedged by the swaps that can be expressed in terms of exposure to adverse changes in cash flows or fair values, the swaps are treated as investment derivative instruments. As such, these interest rate swaps are reported at fair value in the Statement of Net Position and changes in the fair value are reported as investment income in the Statement of Activities. Additional disclosure on the County’s investment derivatives can be found in Note 3.
Due to/from Other Funds The balances result from timing differences between the date(s) interfund goods and services are provided or reimbursable expenditures occur, and payments between the funds are made.
InventoriesInventories, consisting principally of materials and supplies held for use or consumption, are recorded at weighted average cost basis for governmental funds and lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market for enterprise funds, except for the Transit Agency, Water and Sewer and Public Health Trust. These enterprise funds use the average cost method.
The purchases method of inventory accounting is used to report inventories in the governmental funds. Under this method, inventories are reported as expenditures when purchased. However, significant amounts of inventories are reported as assets and are reported an unspendable fund balance to indicate they do not constitute resources available for appropriation. In the statement of net position, inventories are accounted for using the consumption method characteristic of full accrual accounting. Under this method, the recognition of an expense is deferred until such time when the inventories are actually consumed.

Mortgage and Notes Receivable Mortgages and notes receivable primarily arise from the County’s housing development programs that provide low-income housing assistance to eligible applicants and developers. These receivables are collateralized by the property for which the mortgage has been issued. Mortgages and notes receivable total $768.3 million and have an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts of $529.9 million. The allowance is primarily comprised of mortgages and notes receivable that are delinquent over 90 days or whose payments terms were reduced and are being repaid at less than full normal amortization.
Property Taxes Property values are assessed as of January 1 of each year, at which time, according to the Florida Statute 197.122, taxes become an enforceable lien on property until discharged by payment or until barred under Chapter 95. Tax bills are mailed in October and are payable upon receipt with discounts at the rate of 4% if paid in November, decreasing by 1% per month with no discount available if paid in the month of March. Taxes become delinquent on April 1 of the year following the year of assessment and State law provides for enforcement of collection of property taxes by the sale of interest-bearing tax certificates and the seizure of personal property to satisfy unpaid property taxes. The procedures result in the collection of most property taxes prior to June 30 of the year following the year of assessment.
Capital Assets Capital assets include land, buildings, furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery, utility plant and systems, infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) and construction work in progress with an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Capital assets used in the operation of governmental funds and those used in business-type activities are reported in the applicable columns in the government-wide and proprietary funds financial statements.
Capital assets are recorded at cost if purchased or constructed. Contributed capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of contribution. The cost of maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized (added to the cost of the asset). Major renewals and betterments are treated as capital asset additions.
Interest expense related to borrowings used for construction projects of business-type activities is capitalized. The capitalized interest is determined by applying the weighted average interest rate on tax-exempt borrowings to the average amount of accumulated construction in progress during the period and if related to project specific debt, they are netted against any interest earned on the funds borrowed for construction. Interest capitalization ceases when the construction project is substantially complete. Net interest capitalized during fiscal year 2016 amounted to $69.5 million comprised of, $54.6 million for Water and Sewer Department, $7.5 million for Transit, $4.0 million for Aviation, $.6 million for PHT, $1.5 million for Seaport and $1.3 million for Waste Management. Interest is not capitalized for construction projects of governmental funds.
Capital assets are depreciated over their useful lives unless they are inexhaustible (e.g., land, certain individual items or collections with historical or artistic value). Pursuant to Florida Statute, the County inventories all assets with a historical cost of $1,000 or more and a useful life of one year or greater. However, for financial reporting purposes, for equipment and other, the County has established a capitalization threshold of $5,000 for its governmental activities and from $1,000 to $5,000 for its business-type activities and $100,000 for building and building improvements. The County uses the straight-line method of depreciation to depreciate assets over their estimated useful lives, which range as follows:
Buildings and building improvements 5-50 years Utility plant and systems 5-100 years Infrastructure 10-50 years Furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment 3-30 years
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Solid Waste Management Enterprise Fund records depletion of landfill capacity in addition to the amortization of closure and long-term care costs for landfills. The closure and long-term amortization is based on the proportion of capacity used over total capacity applied to the estimate for these costs.
Restricted Assets The use of certain assets is restricted by specific bond covenants and other legal requirements. Assets so designated are identified as restricted assets on the statements of net position.
Long-term Obligations In the government-wide and proprietary fund type financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method or the straight-line method if it does not differ materially from the effective interest method. Bonds payable include the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the governmental fund financial statements, the face amount of the debt issues and bond premium / (discount) are reported in the current period as other financing sources (uses). Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received and principal payments, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Compensated Absences The County accounts for compensated absences by recording a liability for employees’ compensation of future absences according to the guidelines set by GASB Statement No. 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences.
Compensated absences represent accrued leave earned by employees through their years of service and for which they will be compensated, either through time off or by a cash payment at termination or retirement. In the governmental funds, the cost of vacation and sick pay benefits is recognized when payments are made to employees or when the related liability matures. The government-wide statements and proprietary funds recognize a liability and expense in the period vacation and sick pay benefits are earned.
The government-wide statement of net position for September 30, 2016 includes a liability for accumulated vacation and sick pay of $635.9 million. Of this amount, an estimated $231.6 million is payable within a year and the remaining balance of $404.3 million is long-term.
Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) The County’s OPEB cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution by the County, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The Net OPEB Obligation is calculated as the cumulative difference since the effective date of Statement No. 45 between annual OPEB cost and the County’s contribution to the plan. See Note 9.
Deferred Compensation PlanThe County offers its employees a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all County employees, allows them to defer a portion of their salary to future years. The County’s direct involvement in the Plan is limited to remitting the amounts withheld from employees to the Plan’s administrator. The deferred compensation plan is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or an unforeseeable emergency. The deferred compensation plan is not included in the County’s financial statements.
Pension Plan The County contributes to the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-sharing multi-employer plan. GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
62
No. 27 and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transaction for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – an amendment of GASB No. 68, require employers that participate in multi-employer defined benefit plans to recognize a pension liability (asset), pension expense, and deferred inflows/outflows related to the pension. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the FRS and Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) and additions to/deductions from FRS and HIS fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans.
Net Position and Fund Flow AssumptionIf both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use for a certain purpose, it is the County’s policy to use restricted resources first, and then use unrestricted resources as needed. In the case of unrestricted resources, the County generally uses committed amounts first, followed by assigned amounts, then unassigned amounts as needed.
Net Position Restricted by Enabling Legislation As of September 30, 2016, Miami-Dade County had $2.7 billion of restricted net position, of which $862.4 million was restricted by enabling legislation.
Fund Balances
GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, established accounting and financial reporting standards for governmental funds. It includes criteria for classifying fund balances into specifically defined classifications and clarifies definitions for governmental fund types. The Statement provides a more structured classification of fund balance and improves usefulness and understanding of fund balance information to the users of the County’s financial statements. Fund balances for governmental funds are reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the uses of those resources. The fund balance classifications are described below. Also see Note 13.
Nonspendable – Fund balance that cannot be spent either because the underlying resources are not in spendable form or because the government is legally or contractually required to maintain the resources intact. Examples of this classification are inventories, prepaid amounts and endowments.
Restricted – Fund balance that consists of restricted net assets (where constraints on their use are: (1) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments, or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation), reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.
Committed – Fund balance that represents resources whose use is subject to a legally binding constraint that is imposed by the Board of County Commissioners, the highest level of decision-making authority for Miami-Dade County. An ordinance is the formal action required to establish, modify or rescind a fund balance commitment since it constitutes the most binding constraint. The same type of formal action that created the constraint is required to change or remove the specified use.
Assigned – Fund balance that is intended to be used for specific purposes, but is neither restricted nor committed. Assigned amounts include those that have been set aside for a specific purpose by actions of the Board of County Commissioners or its delegates, and not included in other categories. Encumbrance of Governmental Funds is considered an assignment of fund balance. The County Mayor, the Internal Services Department Director and Department Directors have been delegated certain authority to encumber County funds through the award of contracts for goods and services, as outlined in the Master Procurement Implementing Order, IO 3-38.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
63
Unassigned – The portion of fund balance in the General Fund that is the residual classification of amounts that have not been restricted, committed or assigned for specific purposes. The unassigned deficit fund balances in the Hurricane Restoration Fund and General Obligation Bond Projects are discussed in Note 2.
Donor-restricted endowmentsThe permanent funds for the Zoo Miami and Libraries have nonspendable restricted assets of $2.781 million and $479,000, respectively. Under the terms of the endowments and consistent with State statutes, the County is authorized based on a total-return policy to spend the net appreciation on those programs. Any amounts not spent during a particular fiscal year may be carried forward to be spent in future years.
Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
Self-Insurance Fund – Net Position Deficit At September 30, 2016, the Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund had a net position deficit of $240.7 million, a decrease in net position of $30.8 million from the prior year. The deficit is the result of increased estimated losses incurred, but not reported (IBNR). Management intends to increase the insurance rates charged to departments annually with the goal to reduce the accumulated deficit. The County ensures funds are available to cover all annual expenditures. It is necessary to balance annual funding with the ability to fund a reserve for long-term liabilities.
Hurricane Restoration - Fund Balance Deficit At September 30, 2016, the Hurricane Restoration Special Revenue Fund had a fund balance deficit of $4.8 million. The deficit is due to expenditures relating to prior year storms that have not been fully reimbursed by FEMA. The County is a sub-grantee of FEMA funds, pursuant to an agreement between the County and State of Florida (State). The hurricane storm expenditures have been appropriated by FEMA and the State; however, the reimbursement process is a lengthy one. Upon an examination administered by the State, as required by FEMA, the funds are released to the County.
General Obligation Bond Projects Fund – Fund Balance Deficit On December 18, 2012 the Board of County Commissioners, through resolution R-1071-12, authorized the issuance of Miami-Dade County, Florida, General Obligation Bonds (Building Better Communities Program) over a four-year period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $675 million, as part of a Flexible Drawdown Bond Program. On May 17, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners established a second drawdown program through resolution R-348-16, by authorizing the issuance of Miami-Dade County, Florida, General Obligation Bonds (Building Better Communities Program) over a four-year period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $675 million. The Flexible Drawdown Bond Program would provide the County with access to capital funds as needed at a variable rate of interest to finance the cost of any of the voter-approved projects.
At September 30, 2016, the General Obligation Bond Projects Fund had a deficit fund balance of $11.6 million. This deficit was caused by the accrual of expenditures of $23.7 million at the end of the fiscal year. Funds from the Flexible Drawdown Bond Program are drawn down to cover projected cash payments, not on an accrual basis. The cash, cash equivalents and investments balance of the General Obligation Bonds Projects Fund as of September 30, 2016 was $30.0 million.
Legally Adopted Budgets The County’s General Fund, Debt Service Funds, Permanent Funds, and Special Revenue Funds, with the exception of the Clerk of Courts Operations Special Revenue Fund, have legally adopted annual budgets approved by the BCC. As dictated by Article V of the Florida Constitution, the Clerk of the Courts Operations Special Revenue Fund’s budget is submitted to the State’s Clerk of Court (COC) Operations Conference for their review and approval. The Clerk of the Court is accountable to the COC Operations Conference for court-related expenditures funded by the State. The General Fund’s budget-to-actual comparison is

Note 3 - Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
Deposits and Investments (exclusive of those reported in the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida, Defined Benefit Retirement Plan, Note 9)
Miami-Dade County (“the County”) is authorized through Florida Statutes §218.415, Ordinance No. 84-47, Resolution R-31-09 and the County’s Investment Policy to make certain investments. The Investment Policy was updated and adopted on January 22, 2009 in response to current and possible uncertainties in the domestic and international financial markets. The County’s overall investment objectives are, in order of priority, the safety of principal, liquidity of funds and maximizing investment income.
The County pools substantially all cash, cash equivalents and investments, except for cash and investment accounts that are maintained separate in accordance with legal provisions or agreements with creditors, grantors or contributors. Each fund’s equity share of the total pooled cash, cash equivalents and investments is included in the accompanying financial statements under the caption “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Investments.”
All cash deposits are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to State of Florida Statutes Chapter 280, “Florida Security for Public Deposits Act” (the Act). Under the Act, all qualified public depositories are required to pledge eligible collateral having a market value equal to or greater than the average daily or monthly balance of all public deposits times the depository’s collateral pledging level. The pledging level may range from 25% to 200% depending upon the depository’s financial condition and establishment period. All collateral must be deposited with an approved financial institution. Any losses to public depositors are covered by applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral and, if necessary, assessments against other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default.
As a rule, the County intends to hold all purchased securities until their final maturity date. There may be occasional exceptions, including, but not limited to the need to sell securities to meet unexpected liquidity needs as well as sales relating to swap transactions.
At September 30, 2016, the cash of the primary government and fiduciary funds totaled $1,502,897,167 exclusive of cash in PHT’s Pension Trust Fund (Note 9).
The County has implemented the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 72 Fair Value Measurement and Application, issued in February 2015, which requires categorizing investments according the fair value hierarchy established by this Statement. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset, with Level 1 inputs being those quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs being those quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observables; and Level 3 being unobservable inputs for the asset/liability - used to the extent that observable inputs are not available. All of the County’s investments are valued as Level 2.

Credit Risk
The County’s Investment Policy (the Policy), minimizes credit risk by restricting authorized investments to: Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act; Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency; interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories, pursuant to Florida Statutes §280.02, which are defined as banks, savings bank, or savings association organized under the laws of the United States with an office in the State of Florida that is authorized to receive deposits, and has deposit insurance under the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; direct obligations of the United States Treasury; federal agencies and instrumentalities; securities of, or other interests in, any open-end or closed-end management-type investment company or investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolio is limited to the obligations of the United States government or any agency or instrumentality thereof and to repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such United States government obligations, and provided that such investment company or investment trust takes delivery of such collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian; commercial paper of prime quality with a stated maturity of 270 days or less from the date of its issuance, which has the highest letter and numerical rating from at least two rating agencies which are Standard & Poor’s (A1), Moody’s (P1), or Fitch (F1); bankers acceptances which have a stated maturity of 180 days or less from the date of its issuance, and have the highest letter and numerical rating from at least two rating agencies (as noted for commercial paper above) and are drawn and accepted by commercial banks and which are eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve Bank; investments in repurchase agreements (“Repos”) collateralized by securities authorized within this policy. All Repos shall be governed by a standard SIFMA Master Repurchase Agreement; municipal securities issued by U.S. state or local governments, having at time of purchase, a stand-alone credit rating of AA or better assigned by two or more recognized credit rating agencies or a short-term credit rating of A1/P1 or equivalent from one or more recognized credit rating agencies.

Custodial Credit Risk This is the risk that in the event of a financial institution failure, the County’s deposits may not be recoverable. The Policy requires that deposits be made only in qualified public depositories. These are banking institutions approved by the State Treasurer of Florida to hold public funds, and which are required to deposit with the Treasurer or other banking institution eligible collateral, as required by Florida Statutes Chapter 280, Security for Public Depositories. In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses. At September 30, 2016 all of the County’s bank deposits were in qualified public depositories and as such the deposits are not exposed to custodial credit risks.
Securities may be purchased only through financial institutions that are state-certified public depositories. For third-party custodial agreements, the County will execute a Custodial Safekeeping Agreement with a commercial bank. All securities purchased and/or collateral obtained by the County shall be the property of the County and be held apart from the assets of the financial institution.
Concentration of Credit Risk The Policy establishes limitations on portfolio composition by investment type and by issuer to limit its exposure to concentration of credit risk. The Policy provides that a maximum of 50% of the portfolio may be invested in the State of Florida Local Government Surplus Trust Fund (the “Pool”); however, bond proceeds may be temporarily deposited in the Pool until alternative investments have been purchased. Prior to any investment in the Pool, approval must be received from the Board of County Commissioners. A maximum of 30% of the portfolio may be invested in SEC registered money market funds with no more than 10% to any single money market fund. A maximum of 20% of the portfolio may be invested in interest bearing time deposits or demand accounts with no more than 5% deposited with any one issuer. There is no limit on the percent of the total portfolio that may be invested in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury or federal agencies and instrumentalities; with no limits on individual issuers (investment in agencies containing call options shall be limited to a maximum of 25% of the total portfolio). A maximum of 5% of the portfolio may be invested in open-end or closed-end funds. A maximum of 50% of the portfolio may be invested in prime commercial paper with a maximum of 5% with any one issuer. A maximum of 25% of the portfolio may be invested in bankers acceptances with a maximum of 10% with any one issuer, but a maximum of 60% of the portfolio may be invested in both commercial paper and banker’s acceptances. A maximum of 20% of the portfolio may be invested in repurchase agreements with the exception of one (1) business day agreements, with a maximum of 10% of the portfolio in any one institution or dealer with the exception of one (1) business day agreements. A maximum of 25% of the portfolio may be directly invested in municipal obligations, up to 5% with any one municipal issuer.

The above excludes investments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds and external investment pools. Interest Rate Risk The Policy limits interest rate risk by requiring the matching of known cash needs and anticipated net cash outflow requirements; following historical spread relationships between different security types and issuers; evaluating both interest rate forecasts and maturity dates to consider short-term market expectations. The Policy requires that investments made with current operating funds shall maintain a weighted average of no longer than twelve (12) months. Investments for bond reserves, construction funds and other non-operating funds shall have a term appropriate to the need for funds and in accordance with debt covenants. The Policy limits the maturity of a single investment in the portfolio to a maximum of five (5) years.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments, such as interest rate and commodity swaps, swaptions, and forward contracts, are financial arrangements entered into by governments with other parties (usually private-sector financial firms) to manage specific risks or to make investments. The value of a derivative depends on other, more basic, underlying variables. Refer to Note 1-C for additional discussion.

As a debt management tool, the County has entered into several swap transactions. Swaps are made in accordance with the provisions of County Resolution R-311-05, “Master SWAP Policy.” The BCC must authorize the swap agreement and its provisions. Generally, the County will enter into transactions only with counterparties whose obligations are rated in the double-A category or better from at least one nationally recognized rating agency. In instances when the credit rating is lowered below the A rating the County requires the counterparty to collateralize its exposures or the County will exercise its right to terminate. The County’s swap policy seeks to mitigate counterparty risk, termination risk, interest rate risk, basis risk, amortization risk, liquidity risk and pricing risk.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 53, the swaps were evaluated to determine whether they should be treated as effective hedging derivative instruments. Derivative instruments utilized in hedging relationships are designed to reduce identified financial risks by offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of the associated item. The County’s swaps are basis swaps. Because there is no financial risk being hedged by the swaps that can be expressed in terms of exposure to adverse changes in cash flows or fair values, the swaps are treated as investment derivative instruments.
The fair value balances of the swaps were derived by the County’s Swap Advisor using market prices in effect as of the close of business on September 30, 2016. The valuations include the current interest period accruals which would be payable on the next interest payment dates, if applicable. Valuation amounts are from the perspective of Miami-Dade County. A negative amount is what the County would have owed had the transaction been terminated at midmarket on the valuation date, and a positive number is what the County would have received.
The County currently has three governmental basis swaps with the bank (Provider). Under the Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated September 22, 2014 and the Amendment Agreement dated September 22, 2014, the Provider is required to post collateral in the amount of the County’s exposure to the Provider if the Provider is rated “A3” or lower by Moody’s or “A-” or lower by Standard and Poor’s. The Provider may also be required to post an Independent Amount if it is rated below “A3” or “A-“. As a result of the recent downgrades in fiscal year 2016 of the Provider by Moody’s to “Baa2” and by Standard and Poor’s to “BBB+”, the provider is currently required to post a collateral amount equal to the mark-to-market value of the Swaps on any given day, plus an Independent Amount of $5.125 million. As of September 30, 2016, the mark-to-market value of the swaps is $58.6 million dollars. This amount, along with the Independent Amount, was posted and is held in a collateral account by the County. The total value of the collateral, including interest earnings, is $64.315 million as of September 30, 2016, and is reflected in the debt service fund statements. Interest on cash posted to the collateral account will be owed to the Provider.

Under the new Assurance Agreement with the Arena Manager, the County will provide the Arena Manager with an annual payment of $6.4 million through fiscal year 2029. From July 1, 2030 to June 30, 2035, the County’s annual payments increase to $8.5 million. The funding source for the payments made by the County to the Arena Manager are County Available Arena Funds (as defined in the Assurance Agreement), which are generally comprised of, in any fiscal year, the sum of: (1) excess Convention Development Taxes (CDT); (2) County Rental Revenues; (3) Naming Rights receipts, if any; and (4) monies paid to the County for Community Events held at the Arena. Excess Convention Development Taxes is defined as CDT funds collected less the debt service requirements. Notwithstanding and prevailing over any contrary term or provision of the Agreement, the County is not obligated to use any source of funds other than from the Arena Capital Replacement Reserve Fund and County Available Arena Funds.
In the event that at any time the County Available Arena Funds are insufficient to pay for the Building Owner contribution, the County shall continue to be obligated to pay the shortfall, with interest accumulating at the Prime Rate from the date of the shortfall until the date such amounts are repaid by the County.
The County recorded an obligation of $140 million reflecting the amount owed to the Arena Manager at September 30, 2014. During fiscal year 2016, the County made quarterly payments totaling $6.4 million. At September 30, 2016 the future payments under the agreement are as follows (in thousands):

127,200$
If the County elects to sell the naming rights, then beginning in 2020 the County is obligated to make an annual payment to the Arena Manager not to exceed $2 million through 2030.
The agreement eliminates the formula used to calculate the Arena Manager’s contribution to the County and replaces it with a fixed annual revenue stream to the County in the form of a donation for use by the County's Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department for County-owned parks, recreation and youth programs. The Arena Manager will make annual payments to the County of $1 million starting 2014 through 2030. The annual amount increases to $1.25 million from 2031 to 2035. The Arena Manager’s donation to the County from fiscal year 2014 to 2016 was $1 million per year.

Note 7 - Self-Insurance Program
Miami-Dade County provides health insurance to its employees, retirees, and their eligible dependents through a self-funded health plan administered by a Third Party Administrator. Effective January 1, 2016, the County offers up to three HMO benefit options (based on collective bargaining agreements) and one POS option for active and pre-Medicare retirees. Medicare retirees can select from either a high option HMO plan with or without pharmacy coverage, or a low option HMO plan.
The County’s Risk Management Division (RMD) administers workers’ compensation and auto and general liability self-insurance programs. No excess coverage is purchased for these programs. The County’s group medical insurance program is self-funded and is managed by an independent third party administrator. Premiums are charged to the various County departments based on amounts necessary to fund the program. The County purchases commercial property insurance for County-owned properties and purchases commercial insurance in certain instances due to exposure to loss and/or contractual obligations.
The estimated liability for reported and unreported claims of the self-insurance programs administered by RMD is calculated annually by an independent actuary. The estimate for incurred but not reported claims is based on historical experience, adjusted by other factors that would modify past experience, such as current trends and industry projections. Outstanding claims are evaluated based on relevant statutory/case law application and historical claims experience on a case-by-case basis.
The RMD also administers the self-insurance program for the County’s enterprise funds. Water and Sewer only participates in the workers’ compensation and group health self-insurance program. Water and Sewer has established a self-insurance program for general and automobile liability exposures. RMD administers the claims on their behalf.
The Aviation Department pays premiums to commercial insurance carriers for airport liability insurance, construction wrap-up insurance and participates in the County’s property insurance program. The airport liability program provides commercial general liability, contractual liability and personal injury liability coverage at all airports. RMD administers claims within the self-insured retention for this program.
The Public Health Trust (the Trust) maintains its own self-insurance programs for general and professional liability claims, as well as workers’ compensation claims. The Trust uses a Third Party Administrator to administer their workers compensation coverage. The Trust places and administers a commercial property insurance program for Trust properties.
At September 30, 2016, the Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund had a net position deficit of $240.7 million, a decrease in net position of $30.8 million from the prior year. The deficit is the result of increased estimated losses incurred, but not reported (IBNR). Management intends to increase the insurance rates charged to departments annually with the goal to budget sufficient funds to cover annual cost and reduce the accumulated deficit. It is necessary to balance annual funding with the ability to fund a reserve for long-term liabilities.

Other Obligations Pollution Remediation The County has identified a number of sites that are undergoing pollution remediation activities or have violations of pollution related permits and licenses that must be cured. Pollution at most sites is due to contamination from petroleum, ammonia, and metals in soil and in groundwater. In addition, certain sites must continue to be monitored for a number of years due to methane gas emission. As of September 30, 2016, the County has recorded a pollution remediation liability of $28.0 million in long-term liabilities in the statement of net position of governmental activities.
Medicaid Billings On August 1, 2012, pursuant to section 409.914, Florida Statutes, the Florida Agency of Health Care Administration (AHCA) certified to the County the amount of billings from November 1, 2001 through April 30, 2012, that had been disputed by the County and remained unpaid as of that date. The total amount of the retrospective billings was $49.9 million. The County was allowed a 15% discount for having agreed to the certified amount and to a payment plan over five years. Therefore, the total liability was only 85% or $42.4 million. The County met its obligation under the payment plan in fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2016. The remaining obligation of $7.06 million is recorded as a long-term liability in the governmental activities statement of net position and will be liquidated in fiscal year 2017. This amount will be deducted from the revenue sharing distributions to the County by the Florida Department of Revenue.

Energy Conservation Loans Pursuant to Resolution R-740-08, the BCC approved the establishment of an Energy Performance Contracting Program, allowing the County to use private energy services companies to recommend ways to reduce energy consumption by County facilities and equipment. These projects are performed in a turn-key fashion by the companies, who must guarantee that the projected saving in County utility expenses will meet or exceed all project costs. These projects are financed through the County’s third-party financing arrangements with banks, and all financing costs will be funded from the operating and energy cost savings that are guaranteed by the private energy services company. At September 30, 2016, the County has a total of $23.7 million of these financial arrangements, which are reported in the governmental activities statement of net position.
Long-Term Debt – Business-type Activities Long-term debt of business-type activities includes revenue bonds, special obligation bonds and loans payable from specified revenues of the County’s enterprise funds. Also included are general obligation bonds issued on behalf of the Seaport and Aviation Departments, which will be paid from Seaport and Aviation revenues and, to the extent those revenues are insufficient, from ad valorem taxes. Debt service requirements for interest on variable-rate debt were calculated using the rates in effect as of September 30, 2016.
The County’s proprietary funds have issued certain debt instruments that contain various covenants, restrictions and financial test requirements.

Terms of Take Out Agreement - As of September 30, 2016, there were no advances outstanding or Bank Bonds held under this Agreement. In the event the bonds are not remarketed and the County draws down on the Letter of Credit, any unpaid amounts remaining of such draw shall be converted to a Term Loan commencing on the last business date of the holding period. The County agrees to pay the Bank the outstanding principal amount of each such Liquidity Advance in six (6) equal consecutive semiannual principal installments over a three-year period.
The Bank Bond Rate is the Base Rate plus one percent (1.00%) and the Base Rate is the highest of (i) the Prime Rate plus two percent (2.00%), (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus four percent (4.00%) and (iii) eight percent (8.00%). Assuming the minimum rate of 8.00% plus the Bank Bond Rate of 1.00%, and had the full amount of the Bonds been drawn as of September 30, 2016, the debt service requirements to maturity would be $237.735 million for all Bonds, as follows:

$100,000,000 Professional Sports Franchise Facilities Tax Variable Rate Revenue Bonds, Series 2009E (the Bonds) On February 11, 2016, the County amended the existing reimbursement agreement with Wells Fargo on the $100 million Pro Sports Series 2009E Bonds. The amendment allowed Wells Fargo to purchase all $100 million of the outstanding variable rate bonds. In exchange, the Letter of Credit backing the variable rate bonds was no longer needed and the County would pay Wells Fargo the Weekly Interest Rate plus .55 percent. Previously, the County was paying Wells Fargo the Weekly Rate of Interest plus a fee of .65 percent to provide the Letter of Credit plus .10 percent to the remarketing agent, for a total cost of .75 percent. This deal allows the County to save .20 percent or $200k per year over the life of the reimbursement agreement (expiration date is July 12, 2019). This agreement was authorized by Resolution R-2-16.

Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, established the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) Program, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, to assist retired members of any state-administered retirement system in paying the costs of health insurance.
Essentially all regular employees of the County are eligible to enroll as members of the State- administered FRS. Provisions relating to the FRS are established by Chapters 121 and 122, Florida Statutes; Chapter 112, Part IV, Florida Statutes; Chapter 238, Florida Statutes; and FRS Rules, Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code; wherein eligibility, contributions, and benefits are defined and described in detail. Such provisions may be amended at any time by further action from the Florida Legislature.
The FRS is a single retirement system administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and consists of the two cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs. A comprehensive annual financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements, required supplementary information, actuarial report, and other relevant information, is available from the Florida Department of Management Services’ Web site (http://www.dms.myflorida.com/workforce_operations/retirement/publications).
FRS Pension PlanPlan DescriptionThe FRS Pension Plan (Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for eligible employees. The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other classes. Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in local government. Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management level positions. Special Risk Class – Members who are employed as law enforcement officers and meet the criteria to qualify for this class.
Employees enrolled in the Plan prior to July 1, 2011, vest at six years of creditable service and employees enrolled in the Plan on or after July 1, 2011, vest at eight years of creditable service. All vested members enrolled prior to July 1, 2011 are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 62 or at any age after 30 years of service (except for members classified as special risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 55 or at any age after 25 years of service). All members enrolled in the Plan on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 65 or any time after 33 years of creditable service (except for members classified as special risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or at any age after 30 years of service). Members of the Plan may include up to 4 years of credit for military service toward creditable service.

The Plan also includes an early retirement provision; however, there is a benefit reduction for each year a member retires before his or her normal retirement date. The Plan provides retirement, disability, death benefits, and annual cost-of-living adjustments to eligible participants.
DROP, subject to provisions of Section 121.091, Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for normal retirement under the Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing employment with an FRS employer. An employee may participate in DROP for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate, except that certain instructional personnel may participate for up to 96 months. During the period of DROP participation, deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. The net pension liability does not include amounts for DROP participants, as these members are considered retired and are not accruing additional pension benefits.
Benefits ProvidedBenefits under the Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of the average final compensation. For members initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the five highest fiscal years’ earnings; for members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the eight highest fiscal years’ earnings. The total percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total value of all service, which is based on the retirement class to which the member belonged when the service credit was earned. Members are eligible for in-line-of-duty or regular disability and survivors’ benefits. The following chart shows the percentage value for each year of service credit earned:

As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in FRS before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual cost-of-living adjustment is 3% per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost-of-living adjustment. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3% determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3%. Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to PensionsAt September 30, 2016, the County reported a liability of $1,930.5 million for its proportionate share of the Plan’s net pension liability. The Public Health Trust (PHT) is a separate employer under the Florida Retirement System, therefore, PHT’s FRS Pension information is present separately in this note. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2016. The County’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the County’s 2015-16 fiscal year contributions relative to the 2015-16 fiscal year contributions of all participating member. At June 30, 2016, the County’s proportionate share was 7.65%, which was an increase from its proportionate share of 7.40% measured at June 30, 2015.

Mortality rates were based on the Generational RP-2000 with Projection Scale BB tables.
The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2016 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2013.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return The long-term expected rate of return on the Plan investments was not based on historical returns, but instead is based on a forward-looking capital market economic model. The allocation policy’s description of each asset class was used to map the target allocation to the asset classes shown below. Each asset class assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions, and includes an adjustment for the inflation assumption.

The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS)
Plan DescriptionThe Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be amended by the Florida Legislature at any time. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees of the State-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered by the Division of Retirement within the Florida Department of Management Services.
Benefits Provided For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS payment of $5 for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a minimum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment of $150 per month, pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS Plan benefit, a retiree under a State-administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which may include Medicare.
ContributionsThe HIS Plan is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers as set by the Florida Legislature. Employer contributions are a percentage of gross compensation for all active FRS members. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the HIS contribution rate was 1.66%. The County contributed 100% of its statutorily required contributions for the current fiscal year. The HIS Plan contributions are deposited in a separate trust fund from which payments are authorized. HIS Plan benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to annual legislative appropriation. In the event the legislative appropriation or available funds fail to provide full subsidy benefits to all participants, benefits may be reduced or canceled.
The County’s contributions to the HIS Plan totaled $32.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to PensionsAt September 30, 2016, the County reported a net pension liability of $712.4 million for its proportionate share of the HIS Plan’s net pension liability. The Public Health Trust (PHT) is a separate employer under the Florida Retirement System, therefore, PHT’s HIS information is present separately in this note. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation date as of July 1, 2016. The County’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the County’s 2015-16 fiscal year contributions relative to the 2015-16 fiscal year contributions of all participating members. At June 30, 2016, the County’s proportionate share was 6.11%, which was a decrease from its proportionate share of 6.15% measured at June 30, 2015.

Actuarial Assumptions
The HIS pension as of July 1, 2016 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.60%Salary Increases 3.25% average, including inflationMunicipal Bond Rates- Investment Rate of Return 2.85%
Mortality rates were based on the Generational RP-2000 with Projection Scale BB tables.
The actuarial assumptions that determined total pension liability as of June 30, 2016 were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2013.
Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the HIS Plan was 2.85%. In general, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the single rate equivalent to discounting at the long-term expected rate of return for benefit payments prior to the projected depletion date. Because the HIS benefit is essentially funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, the depletion date is considered to be immediate, and the single equivalent discount rate is equal to the municipal bond rate selected by the HIS Plan sponsor. The Bond Buyer General Obligation 20-Bond Municipal Bond Index was adopted as the applicable municipal bond index.

FRS – Defined Contribution Pension Plan
Miami Dade County contributes to the FRS Defined Contribution Investment Plan (Investment Plan). The Investment Plan is administered by the State Board of Administration (SBA), and is reported in the SBA’s annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to participate in the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. Miami Dade County employees participating in the DROP are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and employee contributions, including amounts contributed to individual member’s accounts, are defined by law, but the ultimate benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds. Benefit terms, including contribution requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and may be amended by the Florida Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same employer and employee contribution rates that are based on salary and membership class (Regular Class, Elected County Officers, etc.), as the FRS Pension Plan. Contributions are directed to individual member accounts, and the individual members allocate contributions and account balances among various approved investment choices. Allocations to the investment member’s accounts, as established by Section 121.72, Florida Statutes, are based on a percentage of gross compensation, by class, as follows:
Membership Class
Percent of Gross
CompensationFRS, Regular 6.30FRS, Elected County Officers 11.34FRS, Senior Management Service 7.67FRS, Special Risk Regular 14.00
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
113
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are vested after one year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an accumulated benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is transferred to the Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for FRS Pension Plan vesting (including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds. Non-vested employer contributions are placed in a suspense account for up to five years. If the employee returns to FRS-covered employment within the five-year period, the employee will regain control over their account. If the employee does not return within the five-year period, the employee will forfeit the accumulated account balance. Costs of administering the Investment Plan, including the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded through an employer contribution of 0.04% of payroll and by forfeited benefits of Investment Plan members. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the information for the amount of forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management believes that these amounts, if any, would be immaterial to Miami Dade County.
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a lump-sum distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these options. Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to the FRS Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly benefits under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account balance for retirement income.
The County’s contributions to the FRS Investment Plan $16.0 million and the employee contributions totaled $8.9 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
PUBLIC HEALTH TRUST OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY (the Trust) The Trust is a separate employer form the County under the Florida Retirement System. Therefore, the Trust’s FRS Pension and HIS Pension information is reported separately in this report.
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description The Florida Retirement System (FRS) Pension and Other-State Administrative Systems (the Systems) are administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and is a part of the primary government of the State of Florida.
The State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA) manages the assets of the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The primary investment objectives for the FRS Pension Plan are to provide investment return sufficient to ensure timely payment of promised benefits and keep plan costs at a reasonable level. The portfolio consists of a highly diversified asset mix of investments, which includes government and corporate bonds, common stock, income-producing real state, alternative investments, and short-term money market instruments.
The FRS was created in Chapter 12, Florida Statutes in 1970 by consolidating several employee retirement systems. All eligible employees (As defined by the State of Florida) who were hired after 1970 and those employed prior 1970 who elected to be enrolled are cover by the Plan. Employees in the Pension Plan vest at six years of service if enrolled in the plan prior to July 1, 2011. Enrollment after July 1, 2011 requires eight years of service to vest. Members initially enrolled in FRS before July 1, 2011, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 62 or at any age after 30 years of service, regardless of age. For employees prior to July 1, 2011, pension plan benefit payments are based on the member’s highest five-year average annual salary (average final compensation) time the number of years of service. Enrollees after July 1, 2011 are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 65, or any age after completing eight years of creditable service if after 65 have benefit payments based on the member’s highest eight-year average annual salary. The annual final compensation (regardless of whether it is the highest five or eight) is multiplied by a percentage ranging from 1.60% at either 62 or with 30 years of service to 1.68% at age 65 or with 33 years of service. Members are eligible for early retirement after six
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

years of service, however, normal benefits are reduced by 5% for each year a member retires before normal retirement age.
The plan provides retirement, disability, and death benefits and annual cost-of living adjustment, as well as supplements for certain employees to cover social security benefits lost by the virtue of retirement system membership.
A Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) was established effective July 1, 1998. IT permits employees eligible for normal retirement under the Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing employment with a Florida Retirement System employer. An employee may participate in the DROP for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate. During the period of DROP participation, deferred monthly benefits are held in the Florida Retirement System Trust fund and accrue interest.
Eligible FRS members may elect to participate in the FRS Investment Plan in lieu of the defined-benefit Plan. Trust employees participating in DROP are not eligible to participate I the FRS Investment Plan. This plan is funded by employer contributions that are based on salary and membership class. Contributions are directed to individual member accounts and the ultimate benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds chosen. Employees in the FRS investment Plan vest after one year of service.
The benefit provisions and all other requirements of the Plan are established by Florida Statutes. The Florida Legislature establishes and amends the contribution requirements and benefits of the Plan.
The contribution rates for the Plan are established by section 121.71 of the Florida State Statutes and may be amended, by the State of Florida. The uniform rates for the Plan fiscal year 2015-2016 were as follows:
Class or Plan Employee Employer (A)Florida Retirement System, Regular 3.00 7.26
Notes: (A) Employer rates include the postretirement health insurance supplement, which was increased on July 1, 2015 to 1.66%
Percentage of gross salary
The Trust’s contributions to the Plan, net of employee contributions, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 was approximately $9.0 million. Effective July 1, 2011, all members of FRS, except DROP participants and reemployed retirees who are not eligible for renewed membership, are required to contribute 3% of their compensation to FRS. Amounts collected by the Trust and remitted to the Plan, related to employee contributions are not considered employer contributions by the Plan.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions Section 121.031(3), Florida Statutes, requires an annual actuarial valuation of the FRS Pension Plan, which is provided to the Florida Legislature as guidance for funding decisions.
At September 30, 2016, the Trust reported a liability of $91.3 million for its proportionate share of the FRS Pension Plan net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016 and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2016. The Trust’s proportionate share of the FRS net pension liability was based on a projection of the Trust’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016, the Trust’s proportionate share was 0.36% which was a decrease of 12.27% from its proportionate share of 0.41% measured as of June 30, 2015.

Actuarial cost method Individual Entry Age
The actuarial assumptions that determined the total pension liability of the FRS Pension Plan as of June 30, 2016, were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period ended July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2013.
The changes in actuarial assumptions for demographic and economic assumptions (all of the above assumptions except actuarial cost methods) correspond to changes in the same assumptions in the FRS actuarial study for funding purposes. These changes were approved in October 2015 at the FRS Actuarial Assumptions Conference. The changes are explained below:
The discount rate and long-term expected rate of return, net of investment expense decreased from 7.65% to 7.60%.
The active member mortality assumption was updated.
Long-term expected rate of returnTo develop an analytical basis for the selection of the long-term expected rate of return assumption for the FRS Pension Plan, in October 2015 the FRS Actuarial Assumptions conference reviewed long-term assumptions developed by both Milliman’s Capital market assumptions team and by a capital market assumptions team from Aon Hewitt consulting. The table below shows resulting Milliman assumptions for each of the asset classes in which the FRS pension plan was invested based on the long-term target asset allocation. The allocation policy’s description of each asset class was used to map the target allocation to the asset classes shown below. Each asset class assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions and includes an adjustment for the inflation assumption. These assumptions are not based on historical returns, but instead are based on a forward-looking capital market model. The expected real rate of return is presented in arithmetic means.

In the comprehensive annual financial report issued by FRS for the plan year ended June 30, 2016, management of the plan included a disclosure about the discount rate assumption as set by the 2016 FRS Actuarial Assumption Conference, the body responsible for establishing the actuarial assumptions, along with the exception taken by the Plan Actuary in its Actuarial Valuation report of the Plan as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016. Refer to the Florida Retirement System Comprehensive Annual Report http://www.dms.myflorida.com/workforce_operations/retirement/publications/annual_reportsfor further information. Management of the County considered this information, as well as the audited financial statements of the FRS Pension Plan and Employer Allocation Reports, and other clarifying information issued by the Auditor General of State of Florida as and for the year ended June 30, 2016, whose opinions were unmodified. Based on the reading of the reports and our reliance on the results of the reports, management has incorporated the FRS’ applicable information within the financial statements. Discount RateThe discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the FRS Pension Plan was 7.60% and was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return. See above related discussion.

The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS)
Plan Description The HIS Pension is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined-benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes to provide a monthly payment to assist retirees and beneficiaries of any state-administered retirement system.
Benefits Provided The benefit of the HIS Pension Plan is a monthly payment to assist retirees in paying their health insurance costs. This plan is administered by the Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. HIS benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to annual legislative appropriation.
Eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of years of creditable service complete at the time retirement multiplied by $5. The payments are a minimum of $30 but not more than $150 monthly per Florida Statutes 112.263.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contributions The HIS Pension Plan is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers. The funds are deposited in a separate trust fund and consequently paid from that trust fund. Employer contributions are a percentage of gross compensation for all FRS members. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the contribution rate was 1.66% of payroll per Florida Statutes 112.363. Employees do not contribute to this plan.
The Trust’s contributions to the HIS Pension Plan totaled approximately $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended September 3, 2016.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to HIS Pensions At September 30, 2016, The Trust reported a liability of approximately $54.5 million for its proportionate share of the HIS Pension net pension liability. The net pension liability as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the July 1, 2016. The July 1, 2016 HIS valuation is the most recent actuarial valuation which was used to develop the liabilities at June 30, 2016. The Trust’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Trust’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating members during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, the Trust’s proportionate share was 0.47%, which was a decrease of 8.21% from its proportionate share of 0.51% measured as of June 30, 2015.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Trust recognized pension expense of approximately $2.5 million for the HIS Pension Plan. At September 30, 2016, the Trust reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pension for the HIS Pension Plan from the following sources:

Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida, Defined Benefit Retirement Plans The Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida, Defined Benefit Retirement Plan (PHT Plan) was created in 1996. The Plan has a calendar year-end of December 31 and does not issue stand-alone financial statements.
The Trust follows GASB Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans that replaces the requirements of GASB Statement No. 25, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans, and specifies the required approach to measuring the pension liability of employers and nonemployer contributing entities for benefits provided through the pension plan. GASB Statement No.67 requires plans to calculate a net pension asset (liability) to be measured as the total pension liability less the amount of the pension plan’s fiduciary net position.
GASB Statement No. 68, was implemented in fiscal year 2015, and required employers and nonemployer contributing entities to report their net pension liability on their financial statements. Under previous standards (GASB Statement No. 27, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans), the employer reported a net pension obligation (or NPO) which allowed the employer to amortize the past service cost of the pension liability over a period of time. Implementing GASB Statement No. 68 resulted in a restatement of beginning net position in order to record the net pension liability (asset) at the measurement date of September 30, 2015.
While GASB Statement No. 68 changed the amount of the pension liability (asset) that is reported on the financial statements, governments may continue to fund their plans by calculating an actuarially determined contribution and measuring their funded status as it relates to that actuarially determined contribution.
In order to provide the necessary disclosures that are required under the various GASB Statements, the disclosures below are separated into three sections. The first section, General Information about the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan, offers disclosures about the plan itself – descriptions of the plan and who is covered; an analysis of the membership of the plan as of the end of the fiscal year; a discussion of

benefits provided, and the financial statements. The second section, Net Pension Asset (Liability) and Disclosures required by GASB Statement No. 67, provides the information that is required by GASB Statement No. 67 – the calculation of the net pension asset (liability); the actuarial assumptions and census data that were used in calculating that net pension asset (liability); the discount rate that was used in the calculations; and the sensitivity of the net pension asset (liability); to changes in the discount rate. The third section, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/inflows of Resources, required by GASB Statement No. 68, provides information about the pension expense calculation, deferred outflows balances and current and future years’ amortization of the inflows and outflows balances.
(i) General Information about the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan Eligibility

Credit Risk The PHT Plan’s investment policy (the Investment Policy) is designed to minimize credit risk by restricting authorized investments to only those investments permitted by the Statute, subject to certain additional limitations. These additional limitations consist of prohibitions against investments in derivative securities, options, futures or short positions; however, the Investment Policy allows for investments in mortgage pass-through securities. Generally, the Statute permits investments in the Florida State Board of Administration Pooled Investment account (the SBA Pool), U.S. government and agency securities,common and preferred stock of domestic and foreign corporations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other corporate obligations, bankers acceptances, state or local government taxable or tax exempt debt, real estate and real estate securities, and money market funds. With the exception of obligations directly issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, investments in the SBA Pool, and certain state and local government debt instruments, the Statute provides limits as to the maximum portion of the Plan’s portfolio which can be invested in any one investment category or issuer.

Custodial Credit Risk GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures, requires governments to disclose deposits and investments exposed to custodial credit risk. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter-party to a transaction, a government may not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. As of September 30, 2016, the PHT Plan’s investment portfolio was held with a single third-party custodian.
Concentration of Credit Risk The Investment Policy establishes limitations on portfolio composition by investment type and by issuer to limit its exposure to concentration of credit risk. The Investment Policy in place at September 30, 2016 was:
Asset class / style Policy target Allowable range

There were no individual investments in excess of 5%.
Interest Rate Risk The Plan manages its exposure to rising interest rate risk in fair value by forecasting cash outflows and inflows. To the extent possible, an attempt will be made to match investment maturities with known cash needs and anticipated cash flow requirements.

(ii) Fair Value Hierarchy
The Trust categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuations are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest level, Level 1, is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest level, Level 3, to unobservable inputs.
Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that the Trust has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Trust’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The Tables below

(iii) Net Pension Asset (Liability)
As a result of the adoption of GASB Statement No. 68, the Trust recorded the net pension liability as a long-term liability on the statement of net position. The components of the net position liability at September 30, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):
Total Pension Liability (663,991)$ Plan fiduciary net position 620,235 Net pension liability (43,756)$ Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage of total pension liability 93.4%
Additional information regarding changes in the net pension liability for the years ended September 30, 2016 can be found in the Required Supplementary Information section of these financial statements.
Actuarial Assumptions The actuarial cost method is the aggregate actuarial cost method. Under this method, the excess of the present value of projected benefits over the actuarial value of assets is spread evenly over the expected future compensation of active participants presently under normal retirement age. Gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in plan experience are similarly amortized as part of the normal cost. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2016, using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods including in the measurement:
Valuation date January 1, 2016Measurement date September 30, 2016Actuarial cost method AggregateActuarial valuation method Market valueInflation assumptions 2.50%Investment rate of return 7.50%Projected salary increases 4.0% per year for employees
with less than 10 years and 3.0% for employees with more than 10 years
Assumed annual rate of cost of living increases
3.0% for benefits earned prior to April 1, 2012
The mortality table was updated from the RP 2000 mortality table, sex-distinct, with a 25-year projection using Scale AA to the RP 2000 Generational tables with 50% white collar and 50% blue collar for annuitants (male) and 100% white collar for annuitants (female), and applying scale BB mortality improvements from 2000 on a generational basis for healthy lives. The actuarial assumptions used in the January 1, 2015 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period from January 1, 2009, through January 1, 2014. Actuarial valuations attempt to estimate costs associated with the plan based on a number of demographic, economic, and retirement experience assumptions. To the extent assumptions are at variance to experience, this can result in actuarial gains and losses ultimately impacting contribution rates and the development of the actuarially required contribution. Experience studies are performed every three years to review actual experience in comparison to these assumptions and to provide recommended changes to assumptions.

economic, and retirement experience assumptions. To the extent assumptions are at variance to experience, this can result in actuarial gains and losses ultimately impacting contribution rates and the development of the actuarially required contribution. Experience studies are performed every three years to review actual experience in comparison to these assumptions and to provide recommended changes to assumptions.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using best-estimate ranges of expected future nominal rates of return (expected returns, net of investment expense and inflation) developed of each major asset class using an econometric model that forecasts a variety of economic environments and then calculates asset class returns based on functional relationships between the economic variables and the asset classes. These best estimate ranges were combined to produce forecasts of the short, intermediate, and longer term horizons by weighting the expected future nominal rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage. The various time horizons in the forecast are intended to capture more recent economic and capital market conditions as well as other plausible environments that could develop in the future over economic cycles. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the target asset allocation as of September 30, 2016 are summarized in the following table:
AnnualTarget arithmetic
Asset class allocation of returnEquity 61.00% 3.05%Fixed income 24.00% 1.20%Alternatives 15.00% 0.75%
Nominal long-term expected rates of return for these asset classes are equal to the sum of the above expected long-term real rates and the expected long-term inflation rate of 3.0%.
Total Pension Liability The Trust pension liability at September 30, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):
Service cost 25,252$ Interest 46,551 Differences between expected and actual experience 23,476 Benefit payments, including refunds of member contributions (31,022)
Net change in total pension liability 64,257$ Total pension liability, beginning of year 599,734 Total pension liability, end of year 663,991$
Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.5% at September 30, 2016. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions will continue to be made in accordance with the current funding policy. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments to current Plan members, through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. Therefore, a blended rate incorporating a municipal bond rate is not needed.
The annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments calculated as the internal rate of return on pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expenses for the year ended September 30, 2016 was 11.5%. A money-weighted rate of return expresses investments performance, net of pension plan investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.

Funding Policy The Trust’s funding policy provides for actuarially determined rates deemed sufficient to pay benefits as due; the rate was 5.86% at January 1, 2015 of covered payroll. Effective April 1, 2012, employees were required to contribute 3.0% of the required contribution, thus the employer contribution rate was 2.64% for the year ended September 30, 2016. The assumptions used to compute the contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute pension benefits earned. The Trust has traditionally contributed the annual required contribution.
(iv) Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows / (Inflows) of Resources
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 68, changes in the net position liability are recognized in pension expenses in the current measurement period, with some exceptions. For each of the following, a portion is recognized in pension expense in the current measurement period, for which the Trust decided to use a measurement date of September 30, 2016, and the balance is amortized as deferred outflows or deferred inflows of resources using a systematic and rational method over a closed period, as defined below:
Differences between expected and actual experience with regard to economic and demographic factors – amortized over the average expected remaining service life of all employees that are provided with pensions through the pension plan (active and inactive employees)
Changes of assumptions or other inputs – amortized over the average expected remaining service life of all employees that are provided with pensions through the pension plan (active and inactive employees)
Differences between expected and actual earnings on pension plan investments – amortized over five years

Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions
Plan Description. Miami-Dade County (“the County”) administers a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan (“the Plan”) that provides postretirement medical, hospital, pharmacy and dental coverage to retirees as well as their eligible spouses and dependents. Benefits are provided through the County’s group health insurance plan, which covers both active and retired members. Benefits are established and may be amended by the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (“the BCC”), whose powers derive from F.S. 125.01(3)(a). The Plan does not issue a publicly available financial report.
Participation in the Health Plan consisted of the following at October 1, 2015:
Actives 34,061 Retirees under age 65 3,116 Eligible spouses under age 65 832 Retirees age 65 and over 727 Eligible spouses age 65 and over 375 Total 39,111
Eligibility: To be eligible to receive retiree medical and dental benefits, participants must be eligible for retirement benefits under the Florida Retirement System (FRS) or the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida, Defined Benefit Retirement Plan and pay required contributions.
Regular Class Employees (all employees not identified as members of the Special Risk Class) that were hired prior to July 1, 2011 are eligible for postemployment benefits at age 62 with six years of service, or with 30 years of service at any age. Eligibility for reduced retirement is six years of service at any age. Those hired on or after July 1, 2011 are eligible at age 65 with eight years of service, or 33 years of service at any age.
Special Risk Employees (Police Officers, Firefighters and Corrections Officers) that were hired prior to July 1, 2011 are eligible for postemployment benefits at age 55 with six years of service, or with 25 years of service at any age. Eligibility for reduced retirement is six years of service at any age. Those hired on or after July 1, 2011 are eligible at age 60 with eight years of service, or 30 years of service at any age.
Benefits: A number of plan changes to the pre-Medicare retiree plans were made effective January 1, 2016. The valuation reflects the impact of these changes.
Eligible pre-Medicare retirees receive health care coverage through one of three self-funded medical plans.
AvMed POS AvMed HMO High AvMed HMO Select Jackson First HMO
Retirees may continue coverage beyond Medicare eligibility by enrolling in one of the County-sponsored, self-insured Medicare Supplemental plans provided by AvMed. The County only contributes to post-65 retirees electing one of these plans.

Funding Policy. The County contributes to both the pre-65 and post-65 retiree medical coverage. Medical contributions vary based on plan and tier. Retirees pay the full cost of dental coverage. The postretirement medical is currently funded on a pay-as-you go basis (i.e., Miami-Dade County funds on a cash basis as benefits are paid). The County’s contribution is the actual pay-as-you-go postemployment benefit payments less participant contributions for the period October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016. No assets have been segregated and restricted to provide postretirement benefits.
Contributions are required for both retiree and dependent coverage. Retirees contribute a portion of the full active premium equivalent rates for health coverage. The full monthly premiums, retiree contribution amounts and the County subsidies effective January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 are provided in the tables below. The County subsidy is assumed to remain flat.

Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The County’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.
The following table shows the components of the County’s annual OPEB cost for fiscal year 2016, the amount actually contributed, and changes in the County’s net OPEB obligation (dollar amounts in thousands):

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events in the future. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions by the County are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared

to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, provides multi-year trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions. Projections of benefits are based on the substantive plan (the Plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits in force at the valuation date and the pattern of sharing benefit costs between the County and the plan members to that point. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and employ methods and assumptions that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
The actuarial cost method used in the valuation to determine the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) and the Actuarial Required Contribution (ARC) was the Projected Unit Credit Method with service prorated. Under this method, the total present value of benefits is determined by projecting the benefit to be paid after the expected retirement date (or other event) and discounting those amounts to the valuation date. The normal cost is computed by dividing the total present value of benefits by the participant’s total service (actual plus expected service) at retirement. The AAL under this method represents the total present value of benefits multiplied by the ratio of the participant’s actual service to date and divided by expected service at retirement. The AAL for participants currently receiving payments and deferred vested participants is calculated as the actuarial present value of future benefits expected to be paid. No normal cost for these participants is payable. The AAL and normal cost were calculated at the measurement date, which is the beginning of the applicable fiscal year using standard actuarial techniques.
The following summarizes other significant methods and assumptions used in valuing the AAL and benefits under the plan.
Actuarial valuation date: 10/1/2015Actuarial cost method: Projected unit credit, benefits attributed from date of
hire to expected retirement ageAmortization method: Level percentage of payroll, closed, over 30 yearsRemaining amortization period: 22 years
Actuarial assumptions: Discount rate: 4.0% Inflation rate: 3.5% Payroll growth assumption: 3.0% Health CPI: 3% Health care cost trend rates: Medical/Rx 7.5% initial to 4.5% ultimate Health care cost trend period: Grades down over six years by 0.5% per year Mortality table: RP 2014 Generational Table using MP 2016
Projection Scale and applied on a gender-specific basis
Further, the participation assumption used in the valuation (the assumed percentage of future retirees that participate and enroll in the health plan) is 20% for those prior to age 55 (50 if special risk) and 60% until age 65. Once reaching Medicare eligibility, the participation rate is assumed to be 20%.
The valuation assumes that the County will continue to fund the liability on a pay-as-you-go basis and that the County’s per-capita contribution for retiree benefits will remain flat. As a result, the retiree contributions will be increased to the extent necessary so that they are sufficient to provide for the difference between the gross costs and the fixed County contributions.

Note 10 - Contingencies and Commitments
Enterprise Funds Construction Contracts and CommitmentsAs of September 30, 2016 the County’s enterprise funds had contracts and commitments as follows:
Aviation Department, $565.0 million Water and Sewer Department, $433.2 million Transit Department, $42.7 million Seaport Department, $11.5 million Solid Waste Department, $8.5 million
The above total is $1.1 billion. In addition, the Public Health Trust (the Trust) has several construction projects currently in progress at September 30, 2016. The estimated total cost to date and cost to complete such projects, exclusive of capitalized interest, is approximately $31,383,000 and $1,173,400,000 respectively.
Governmental Funds – Encumbrances The County has established a procedure for encumbering appropriations for purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments authorizing delivery of merchandise or rendering services. An encumbrance system reduces the possibility of commitments being made in excess of budgeted appropriations due to the lag of time between issuance of purchase orders, contracts, or other obligations, and the actual provision of services or goods and subsequent receipts of invoices and billings from the vendors and contractors. Depending on the source(s) of funding, encumbrances are reported as part of restricted or assigned fund balance on the governmental funds balance sheet. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 54, “Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions”, the County’s total significant encumbrances for governmental funds in the aggregate are reported as follows at September 30, 2016: (in thousands)

Waste Management - Closure and Postclosure Care Costs Current laws and regulations require the County to place final covers on landfill cells as they are closed and perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the landfill cell sites for thirty years after closure. These laws and regulations also require the County, on an annual basis, to disclose the extent of its financial responsibility for the costs involved, which are referred to as “closure and postclosure care” costs. The County was in compliance with these requirements as of September 30, 2016.
At September 30, 2016, the County’s total liability for landfill closure and postclosure care costs was $74.2 million. Of this amount, $75.1 million relates to active landfills and $862 thousand relates to inactive landfills.
The County accounts for and discloses closure and postclosure care costs in accordance with GASB Statement No. 18 Accounting for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs (the “Statement”). The Statement requires, among other matters: (1) that the liability for closure and postclosure care costs be estimated based on applicable federal, state or local regulations that were in existence as of the date of the statement of net position, (2) that the cost estimates be reevaluated and adjusted on an annual basis for changes due to inflation or deflation, or for changes due to advancements in technology, (3) that a portion of these estimated closure and postclosure costs be recognized in each operating period
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
139
that the landfill is active, based on the amount of waste received during the period (included in the capacity used to date), even though the majority of the costs will not be disbursed until after the landfill cells are closed, and (4) that changes in the estimated costs for closure and postclosure care which occur after the landfill stops accepting waste be recognized entirely in the period of the change.
Expenses for closure and postclosure care are funded from bond proceeds, of which the principal and interest are subsequently repaid from Utility Service Fees assessed on all countywide water and wastewater users, in accordance with Chapter 24 of the Dade County Code (the “Code”). Under the Code, funds collected from this fee can be used for solid waste landfill closure and postclosure care costs that are the financial responsibility of the County, for environmental remediation at landfill sites, and for land acquired to protect groundwater. The Department of Solid Waste Management’s Net Position includes $12.8 million in net position restricted for grants and other purposes for groundwater protection as of September 30, 2016.
Waste Management - Resources Recovery FacilityThe County has an agreement for the operation of the County owned resource recovery facility (the “Facility”). The Fourth Amended and Restated Operations and Management Agreement (the “O&M Agreement”, “Agreement”) was executed on July 27, 2012 (but is effective as of October 1, 2009) by and between the County and the operator, for the purpose of amending and restarting in its entirety that certain Third Amended and Restated Operations and Management Agreement dated as of September 1, 1996 between the County and the Company. The Agreement expires on October 31, 2023. The term of the Agreement can be automatically extended for up to four additional five-year renewal terms that would expire on October 31, 2043. In the event of termination of the O&M Agreement, the County must find a successor operator. Solid waste is delivered to the Facility from the County’s transfer stations and directly from municipal customers and private haulers. The garbage and trash are processed into refuse derived fuel and then burned in four boilers that produce steam to turn two turbine generators to produce electricity.
Payments made to the operator under the Amended Agreement are primarily for tipping fees on the waste processed through the Facility, subject to certain delivery and processing guarantees. The operator is also paid a 50% share of the revenues from the sale of electricity generated by the plant and purchased by three energy companies. Accordingly, these payments are treated as an operations and maintenance expense.
In order to finance ongoing plant enhancements over the years, the County issued various debt instruments on behalf of the operator, which were refunded from the proceeds of the $182.7 million Dade County, Florida Resource Recovery Facility Refunding Revenue Bonds issued in 1996 (the “Series 1996 Bonds”). The Series 1996 Bonds were a debt obligation of the operator, and are, therefore, not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The County has guaranteed to deliver 240,000 tons per year (TPY) in recyclable trash to the operator. In addition, the County has guaranteed 732,000 TPY in on-site waste. This on-site waste guaranteed tonnage is to be fulfilled with garbage. The sum of the annual on-site waste guaranteed tonnage and the annual recyclable trash guaranteed tonnage shall not be less than 972,000 tons per annual period, unless the solid waste shall not be deemed to be available to the County for delivery to the Facility if such Solid Waste is unavailable for circumstances beyond the County’s control and not due to actions taken by the County. For fiscal year 2016, the County recorded expenses of $53.4 million in tipping fees to the operator. The rates charged for tipping fees as of September 30, 2016 were $48.46 per ton for on-site waste processing other than tires and $87.36 per ton for clean shredded tires. These rates are adjusted annually for the consumer price index. Fuel and other by-products not returned to County facilities from the recyclable trash received a credit of $2.01 per ton as a recycle credit fee.
Waste Management –Contract DisposalDuring fiscal year 2016, the Department maintained a long-term waste disposal contract with a private regional disposal facility provider. The waste disposal contract is effective until September 30, 2035, with two additional five-year renewal options. Under the terms of the contract, the County must deliver or direct to be delivered, a minimum of 250,000 tons of waste per year to a landfill located in the Town of Medley, Florida. The County may dispose up to 500,000 tons of waste at the Medley landfill site. Waste deliveries

over 500,000 tons may be disposed of at two alternate landfill sites: up to 250,000 tons of waste in the Monarch Hill landfill site and up to 500,000 tons of waste in the Okeechobee County landfill site.
The contract fixed the disposal fee paid by the County at $34.13 in fiscal year 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the County was in compliance with this contract. The County paid a disposal fee of $8.6 million for fiscal year 2016.
On September 30, 2016, the County executed the Second Amended and Restated Agreement with another private regional disposal facility provider. The contract is effective until September 30, 2025, with two additional five-year renewal options. Under the terms of the contract, this provider must deliver 51% of the total solid waste they collect in Miami-Dade County to Waste Management facilities for disposal. Also, the County has a guaranteed capacity of up to 500,000 tons of waste per year at the Progressive JED Landfill. If the Department elects or needs to dispose of solid waste at this Landfill, the disposal rate is $20 per ton of waste (subject to annual CPI adjustment)
Aviation Department Environmental Matters In August 1993, the Miami-Dade County Aviation Department (MDAD or Aviation Department) and the Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) entered into a Consent Order. Under the Consent Order, the Aviation Department was required to correct environmental violations resulting from various tenants’ failure to comply with their environmental obligations at the Airport including those facilities previously occupied by Eastern Airlines and Pan Am Airlines. In addition, the Aviation Department had a preliminary study performed by an independent engineering firm to estimate the cost to correct the environmental violations noted in the Consent Order. This study was used as a basis to record the environmental remediation liability as of September 30, 1993. In each subsequent year, the Aviation Department has received an updated study performed by an independent engineering firm to further update the estimated costs to correct the environmental violations noted in the Consent Order based on additional information and further refinement of estimated costs to be incurred.
As a result of the updated study and costs incurred in fiscal year 2016, the total cumulative estimate to correct such violations was $188.9 million. This estimate allows for uncertainties as to the nature and extent of environmental reparations and the methods, which must be employed for the remediation. The cumulative amount of environmental expenditures spent through September 30, 2016 approximated $147.9 million. The Aviation Department has also spent $56.3 million in other environmental related projects not part of any consent order.
During fiscal year 1998, a Consent Order (FDEP Consent Order) was signed with the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The new FDEP Consent Order encompasses and replaces the DERM agreement and includes additional locations. The FDEP Consent Order includes all locations at the Miami International Airport (MIA) that are contaminated as well as additional sites where contamination is suspected. The Aviation Department included other sites where contamination is suspected in the FDEP Consent Order under a Protective Filing. If contamination is documented at these sites, the State of Florida (the State) would be required to incur the costs of remediation. Because the State will be required to pay for remediation of sites filed in the Protective Filing and because the contamination at the sites is unknown, an accrual amount is not reflected in the Opinion of Cost report or in the accompanying financial statements.
Currently, the County has several pending lawsuits in State Court against the Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) and insurers to address recovery of past and future damages associated with the County’s liability under the FDEP Consent Order. As of September 30, 2016, the Aviation Department has received approximately $60.1 million from the State, insurance companies and PRPs.
The liability at September 30, 2016 was approximately $41.1 million representing the unexpended environmental remediation costs based on the Opinion of Cost performed by an independent engineering firm. At September 30, 2016, the long-term liability was $36.9 million and the short-term liability was $4.2 million. Management has allocated a portion of bond proceeds to fund this obligation and believes that the
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
141
remaining amount can be funded from recoveries and the operations of the Aviation Department. The liability recorded by the Aviation Department does not include an estimate of any environmental violations at the three general aviation airports or at the two training airports. Management is not aware of any such liabilities and the occurrence of any would not be material to the financial statements.
In addition to the studies conducted to determine the environmental damage to the sites occupied by Eastern and Pan Am, the Aviation Department caused studies to be performed to determine the amount required to remove or otherwise contain the asbestos in certain buildings occupied by the airlines. The Aviation Department has also estimated the amount required to remove or otherwise contain the asbestos in buildings other than those formerly occupied by Eastern and Pan Am. The studies that estimate the cost to correct such damage related to all buildings were assessed at approximately $4.5 million. The Aviation Department has no intention of correcting all assessed damage related to asbestos in the near future as they pose no imminent danger to the public. Specific issues will be addressed when and if the Aviation Department decides to renovate or demolish related buildings. At such time, the Aviation Department will obligate itself to the cleanup or asbestos abatement. As emergencies or containment issues may arise from this condition, they will be isolated and handled on a case-by-case basis as repair and maintenance. Such amounts do not represent a liability of the Aviation Department until such time as a decision is made by the management to make certain modifications to the buildings, which would require the Aviation Department to correct such matters. As such no amounts are recorded as of September 30, 2016.
The nature of ground and groundwater contamination at MIA can be divided into two categories; petroleum related contamination and hazardous/nonhazardous contamination. The Opinion of Cost is divided in three large areas: the Inland Protection Trust Fund (IPTF) which was created by the State to deal with contamination related to petroleum products in sites that qualified for that program; the non IPTF contamination relates to other sites which might include petroleum as well as hazardous/non-hazardous related contamination; and the non-consent items which can be either of the two above but were not specifically listed in the Consent Order.
The table below summarizes the remediation liability by nature of the containment as of September 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Aviation Department Agreement with Florida Department of Transportation In a quitclaim deed dated December 11, 2011, the Rental Car Facility (RCF) and the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) adjacent to the airport was conveyed to Miami-Dade County through its Aviation Department by FDOT. The conveyance was recorded in the amount of $393.3 million ($42.0 million for the land and $351.3 million for the building and improvements), which is its fair market value. The quitclaim deed requires that the RCF be used as a rental car facility. In the event that it ceases to be used as such, all property rights in it revert to FDOT. The Aviation Department has recorded the full value of the land and building, and has is recognizing the equity contribution (deferred revenue) using the straight-line method over 393 months, the life of the Transportation Infrastructure Financing Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan.
The facility was designed and constructed by FDOT, which borrowed $270 million from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) under the TIFIA loan program. The loan will be repaid through the collection of Customer Facility Charges (CFCs) and contingent rent, if needed, from car rental company customers using the RCF. The car rental companies remit these funds directly to the Fiscal Agent servicing the loan; the CFCs are not revenues of the Aviation Department. The County and MDAD do not own nor do they have access to accounts held by the Fiscal Agent. The repayment of the TIFIA loan is not secured by any Aviation Department revenues and in no event will the Department be required to use any airport

revenues for the payment of debt service on the RCF portion of the TIFIA loan or any additional RCF financing.
Public Health Trust Annual Operating Agreement In accordance with the annual operating agreement between the Public Health Trust (the Trust) and the University of Miami (the University), the Trust pays certain amounts for staff and services to be provided by the University. Under the annual operating agreement, costs incurred by the Trust for the year ended September 30, 2016 were approximately $128.7 million. At September 30, 2016 the Trust had a liability to the University of $21.9 million. In fiscal year 2012, The Trust and the University entered into an agreement for the repayment of old debt, which included the renegotiation of leased rental property. At September 30, 2016, the Trust had a balance of $11.7 million in due to University of Miami in other long-term liabilities.
Other Commitments
Legal Contingencies The County is a defendant to legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of operations. Probable losses have been recognized in the Self-Insurance Fund or in the government-wide statements. In the opinion of the County Attorney, the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings are not likely to have a material, adverse impact on the financial position of the County or the affected funds.
Arbitrage Rebates The rebate to the Federal Government, required to be paid within five years from the date of issuance and each five years thereafter. As of September 30, 2016, the County had no obligations to record rebate liabilities. The ultimate amount of the County’s obligation will be determined based on actual interest earned.
Federal and State Grant Awards Governmental audits include compliance audits of federal grants, performed under the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). State grants are audited in accordance with Florida Rules of the Auditor General, Section 10.550 and the State of Florida Single Audit Act. Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit adjustment by grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable fund.

Note 12 – New Accounting Pronouncements The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued the following pronouncements prior to September 30, 2016 which have an effective date that may impact future presentations. The County estimates that the implementation of GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, (OPEB), will have a material impact on the net position of governmental activities and of business-type activities due to the County’s unfunded OPEB liability totaling $459.5 million as of September 30, 2016.
In June 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 73 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pension and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67 and 68 which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2015- except those provisions that address employers and governmental non-employers contributing entities for pensions that are not within the scope of Statement 68, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2016. The objective of this statement is to improve the usefulness of information about pensions included in the general purpose external financial reports of state and local governments for making decision and assessing accountability. The Statement establishes requirements for defined benefit pensions that are not within the scope of Statement 68, as well as for the assets accumulated for purposes of providing those pensions. In addition, it establishes requirements for defined contribution pensions that are not within the scope of Statement 68.
In June 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2016. The objective of this Statement is to improve the usefulness of information about postemployment benefits other than pensions included in the general purpose external financial reports of state and local governmental OPEB plans for making decisions and assessing accountability. The scope of this Statement includes OPEB plans—defined benefit and defined contribution—administered through trusts that meet the following criteria: Contributions from employers and non-employers contributing entities to the OPEB plan and earnings on those contributions are irrevocable; OPEB plan assets are dedicated to providing OPEB to plan members in accordance with the benefit terms; OPEB plan assets are legally protected from the creditors of employers, non-employer contributing entities, and the OPEB plan administrator. If the plan is a defined benefit OPEB plan, plan assets also are legally protected from creditors of the plan members. This Statement also includes requirements to address financial reporting for assets accumulated for purposes of providing defined benefit OPEB through OPEB plans that are not administered through trusts that meet the specified criteria.
In June 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2017. The primary objective of this Statement is to improve accounting and financial reporting by state and local governments for postemployment benefits other than pensions (other postemployment benefits or OPEB). This Statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures. For defined benefit OPEB, this Statement identifies the methods and assumptions that are required to be used to project benefit payments, discount projected benefit payments to their actuarial present value, and attribute that present value to periods of employee service. Note disclosure and required supplementary information requirements about defined benefit OPEB also are addressed. In addition, this Statement details the recognition and disclosure requirements for employers with payables to defined benefit OPEB plans that are administered through trusts that meet the specified criteria and for employers whose employees are provided with defined contribution OPEB. This Statement also addresses certain circumstances in which a non-employer entity provides financial support for OPEB of employees of another entity.
In August 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 77, Tax Abatement Disclosures, which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Although many governments offer tax abatements and provide information to the public about them, they do not always provide the information necessary to assess how tax abatements affect their financial position and results of operations, including their ability to raise resources in the future. This Statement requires disclosure of tax abatement information about (1) a
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
147
reporting government’s own tax abatement agreements and (2) those that are entered into by other governments and that reduce the reporting government’s tax revenues.
In December 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 78, Pensions Provided through Certain Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plans, which is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This Statement amends the scope and applicability of Statement No. 68, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions” to exclude pensions provided to employees of state of local governmental employers through a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that (1) is not a state or local governmental pension plan, (2) is used to provide defined benefits pensions both to employees of state or local governmental employers, and (3) has not predominant state of local governmental employers. This Statement established requirements for recognition and measurement of pension expense, expenditures, and liabilities; note disclosures; and required supplementary information for pensions that have the characteristics described above.
In December 2015, GASB issued Statement no. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants, which are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2015, except for the provisions in paragraphs 18, 19, 23-26, and 40, which are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain external investment pools and pool participants. Specifically, it establishes criteria for an external investment pool to qualify for making the election to measure all of its investments at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. An external investment pool qualifies for that reporting if it meets all of the applicable criteria established in this Statement. The specific criteria address (1) how the external investment pool transacts with participants; (2) requirements for portfolio maturity, quality, diversification, and liquidity; and (3) calculation and requirements of a shadow price. Significant noncompliance prevents the external investment pool from measuring all of its investments at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. Professional judgment is required to determine if instances of noncompliance with the criteria established by this Statement during the reporting period, individually or in the aggregate, were significant.
In January 2016, GASB issued Statement No. 80, Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units- an amendment of GASB Statement No. 14, which is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2016. This Statement amends the blending requirements for the financial statement presentation of component units of all state and local governments. The additional criterion requires blending of a component unit incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in which the primary government is the sole corporate member. The additional criterion does not apply to component units included in the financial reporting entity pursuant to the provisions of Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units.
In March 2016, GASB issued Statement No. 81, Irrevocable Split-Interest Agreement, which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This Statement requires that a government that receives resources pursuant to an irrevocable split-interest agreement recognize assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources at the inception of the agreement. Furthermore, this Statement requires that a government recognize assets representing its beneficial interests in irrevocable split-interest agreements that are administered by a third party, if the government controls the present service capacity of the beneficial interests. This Statement requires that a government recognize revenue when the resources become applicable to the reporting period.
In March 2016, GASB issued Statement No. 82, Pension Issues- and amendment of GASB Statement No. 67, No. 68, and No. 73, which is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2016 except for the requirements of paragraph 7 in a circumstance in which an employer’s pension liability is measured as of a date other than the employer’s most recent fiscal year-end. In that circumstance, the requirements of paragraph 7 are effective for that employer in the first reporting period in which the measurement date of the pension liability is on or after June 15, 2017. This Statement addresses issues regarding (1) the presentation of payroll-related measures in required supplementary information, (2) the selection of assumptions and the treatment of deviations from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice for financial reporting purposes, and (3) the classification of payments made by employers to satisfy employee (plan member) contribution requirements. Prior to the issuance of this Statement, Statements 67 and 68
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
148
required presentation of covered-employee payroll, which is the payroll of employees that are provided with pensions through the pension plan, and ratios that use that measure, in schedules of required supplementary information. This Statement amends Statements 67 and 68 to instead require the presentation of covered payroll, defined as the payroll on which contributions to a pension plan are based, and ratios that use that measure. This Statement clarifies that a deviation, as the term is used in Actuarial Standards of Practice issued by the Actuarial Standards Board, from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice is not considered to be in conformity with the requirements of Statement 67, Statement 68, or Statement 73 for the selection of assumptions used in determining the total pension liability and related measures. This Statement clarifies that payments that are made by an employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements should be classified as plan member contributions for purposes of Statement 67 and as employee contributions for purposes of Statement 68. It also requires that an employer’s expense and expenditures for those amounts be recognized in the period for which the contribution is assessed and classified in the same manner as the employer classifies similar compensation other than pensions (for example, as salaries and wages or as fringe benefits).
In November 2016, GASB issued Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations, which is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2018. This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement obligation (AROs). An ARO is a legally enforceable liability associated with the retirement of a tangible capital asset. A government that has legal obligations to perform future asset retirement activities related to its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability based on the guidance of this Statement. This Statement also require disclosure of information about the nature of the government’s AROs, the methods and assumptions used for the estimates of the liabilities, and the estimated remaining useful life of the associated capital asset.

Note: Schedule is intended to show information for 10 years. Additionalyears will be displayed as they becomeavailable.
The Plan uses the aggregate actuarial cost method, which cannot be used to prepare a schedule of funding progress because it does not separately determine actuarial liabilities. In order to provide information that serves as a surrogate for the funding progress of the Plan per GASB Statement No. 50, Pension Disclosures, the entry age normal cost method has been used to calculate the funded status. This method calculates the funding progress by a ratio of the actuarial value of assets to the actuarial accrued liability (AAL).
Notes to Schedule: Asset valuation method: Five-year smoothing of market value
Investment rate of return: 7.50%
Projected salary increases: Salaries are assumed to increase at 4% per year and 3% per year for employers with less than 10 years or more than 10 years, respectively.
Cost of living adjustments: Calculated based on years of service before April 1, 2012, divided by total years of service at retirement multiplied by 3%.
No COLA on health insurance subsidy. First year COLA is prorated if participant has not been retired a full year at time of increase.

Notes to the Required Supplementary Information - (Unaudited)
BudgetsChapter 129, Florida Statutes, requires that all county governments prepare, approve, adopt and execute an annual budget for such funds as may be required by law or by sound financial practices and generally accepted accounting principles. The budgets control the levy of taxes and the expenditure of money for County purposes for the ensuing fiscal year. The budgeting process is based on estimates of revenues and expenditures. The County budgets are prepared on a modified-accrual basis or accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The County’s budgets have to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Every September the County holds two public hearings and adopts the annual budgets for substantially all County funds through the enactment of budget ordinances. Most funds have annually appropriated budgets, meaning that their budgets are established annually. Capital project funds and certain grant funds, however, have budgets that extend over the duration of the project or grant, which may be several years. At the end of the fiscal year, the appropriations of annually adopted budgets lapse, but the appropriations of project-length budgets continue until the end of the capital project or grant.
The adopted budgets are either appropriated or non-appropriated in nature. Funds that have appropriated budgets cannot legally exceed their appropriations. The budgetary control over funds that have non-appropriated budgets are dependent on other enabling ordinances, such as bond ordinances, in which expenditure authority extends over several years into the future.
Budgets are monitored at varying levels of classification detail. However, expenditures cannot legally exceed total appropriations at the individual fund or departmental level. Amendments and supplements to the budget at fund or department level require County Commissioners’ approval. Department directors are authorized to make transfers of appropriations within their fund or department. Transfers of appropriations between funds or departments require County Commissioners’ approval. Estimated fund balances are considered in the budgetary process.
Encumbrance accounting is used in the County’s governmental funds. Encumbrances are commitments for future expenditures, based on purchase orders or contracts issued, where the goods or services have been ordered but have not been received. Encumbrances do not constitute expenditures or liabilities to the County since no resources are expended until the goods or services are received. They are used to help ensure that actual expenditures and commitments for future expenditures do not exceed authorized appropriations.
A budget and actual comparison for the General Fund is presented in the Required Supplementary Information section of this report. Budget and actual comparisons for other funds are reflected in the Other Supplementary section.

(a) Adjustments to the tax roll are made by the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser and Value Adjustment Board.(b) Property Appraiser did not issue First Certified Tax Roll prior to fiscal year 2007.(c) Prior to FY 2012 VAB petitioners were not required to pay their property taxes until the VAB hearing was completed. Due to the historically high volume of VAB appeals, the hearings overlapped two fiscal years before payment was required. Prior to FY 2012 "Collections in Subsequent Years" reflect collections of VAB appealed accounts received in the subsequent fiscal year. Beginning in FY 2012 (2011 Tax Roll) statutory change required that no less than 75% of ad valorem tax be paid by corrections the tax delinquency date of April 1st before a VAB appeal could be heard. And, if taxes were paid in full, any tax refund resulting from a VAB correction issued after April 1 also requires interest to be paid at 1% per month accruing from April 1 to resolution on the refunded amount. Thus, more collections occur within the fiscal year of levy and subsequent year collection reflects reductions to collection due to VAB and PA corrections as well as interest paid on VAB(d) Taxes levied in FY2014 were adjusted to reflect the Final 2013 Tax Roll certified in May 29, 2015.(e) Taxes levied in FY2015 reflect the Final 2014 Certified Tax Roll in April 29, 2016.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To Honorable Harvey Ruvin, Clerk of the Circuit
and County Courts of Miami-Dade County, Florida Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts of the Miami-Dade County, Florida, Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida (the “Clerk”), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Clerk’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
2
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the major funds, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Clerk as of September 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Other Matters
Purpose of financial statements
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Section 10.557(3), Rules of the Auditor General for Local Governmental Entity Audits. These financial statements do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Miami-Dade County, Florida, as of September 30, 2016, and changes in its financial position and its cash flows, where applicable for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Clerk’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual non-major fund financial statements, and combining and individual fiduciary financial statements, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual non-major fund financial statements, and combining and individual fiduciary fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual non-major fund financial statements and combining and individual fiduciary financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 25, 2017, on our consideration of the Clerk’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Clerk’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT AND COUNTY COURTS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA
ELEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 Note 1 - General
Structure
The Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts of Miami-Dade County, Florida, Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida (the Clerk), is an elected official pursuant to Article V of the Florida Constitution. The Clerk serves in two capacities: Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts and Clerk, Ex-Officio of the Board of County Commissioners. Under the first function the Clerk provides support to the Courts (Civil, Family, Criminal and Traffic). His ex-officio functions include Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, County Auditor, Custodian of Public Funds and County Recorder.
Effective July 1, 2004, Constitutional Revision 7 to Article V of the Florida Constitution allocated state court system funding among state, counties and users of courts. It specifically addressed funding responsibilities, functional responsibilities, management structure and operational efficiencies. Funding responsibilities were defined as pertaining to the State court system when the Clerk served in his capacity as Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts and to the Board of County Commissioners (the Board) when serving as ex-officio of the Board. Consequently, the Clerk prepares a budget in two parts.
From July 1, 2009 through the SFY June 30, 2013 the Florida Legislature decreed that the Clerks of Court be funded from State appropriations. Legislation enacted in 2013, removed the Clerks from the State appropriations process and returned them to a county fiscal year. Effective July 1, 2013 the Clerk’s Offices were funded from filing fees, service charges, court costs and fines. Each Clerk’s Office now submits its budget request to the CCOC, who submits them to the Legislative Budget Commission (LBC) for final approval. The LBC shall approve, disapprove, or amend and approve the total of the Clerk’s combined budget or any individual Clerk’s budget.
The budget for the ex-officio capacity is funded by the Board as part of the County’s annual budget whereby the Clerk remits all fees and other monies earned through the agency funds to the County for appropriation by the Board.
Financial Statements
The financial statements presented include the general fund, special revenue funds and agency funds of the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office. The accompanying financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Section 10.557(3), Rules of the Auditor General for Local Governmental Entity Audits.

Note 1 - General (cont’d)
Financial Statements (cont’d)
Section 10.556(5), Rules of the Auditor General for Local and Governmental Entity Audits, permits the Clerk’s financial statements to only present fund financial statements. Accordingly, due to the omission of certain financial statement disclosures and management’s discussion and analysis these financial statements do not constitute a complete presentation of the financial position of the Clerk for the year ended September 30, 2016 and changes in its financial position for the year then ended in conformity with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, but otherwise constitute financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial activities of the Clerk, as a constitutional officer, are included in the County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements:
The accounts of the Clerk are organized and operated on the basis of funds and an account group, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund and account group is accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenue, and expenditures. Resources are allocated and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The Clerk has the following funds:
A. Major Governmental Funds
(i) General Fund
The General Fund is used to account for all revenues and expenditures applicable to the general ex-officio operations of the Clerk. The General Fund measurement focus is upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources rather than upon net income determination).
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes. The measurement focus of these funds is the same as the General Fund.
The following comprise Special Revenue Funds of the Clerk:

All non-major governmental funds are comprised of various Special Revenue Funds.
The following comprise the Non-major Governmental Special Revenue Funds of the Clerk:
(i) Child Support Grant Fund
The Clerk operates within the Central Depository Fund activities relating to Child Support. Per the cooperative agreement (CL313) between the Florida Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement Program and the Clerk in its capacity as the local child support depository, and as required by 45 C.F.R.S. 303.107(d) the expenditures related to those activities are reimbursed by the Department of Revenue.
(ii) Public Records Modernization Trust Fund
Established July 1, 1987 per section 28.24, Florida Statute. This fund receives $1.00 for each first page and $0.50 for each page thereafter per instrument recorded in the official records of the County Recorder. The funds are utilized for equipment, personnel training, and technical assistance in modernizing the official records system.

(iii) Clerk’s Traffic Facility Trust Fund

This fund received $10 from each driver license reinstatement fee collected to be utilized by the Traffic Court Division for the operating expenses incurred in collecting the fee and the purchase of data processing services through September 30, 2008. Revenue is no longer collected in this fund; however, the provisions still apply to the remaining fund balance.
(iv) Parking System Trust Fund
Established October 1, 1990 by Court Administrative Order No. 90-28. This fund receives $3 of the costs assessed under Section 30-388.32 of the County Code for the maintenance and enhancement of the Parking Violations Bureau Collections System.
(v) Clerk’s Service Enhancement Trust Fund
Established as a 1994 amendment to County Ordinance 90-72 which amended County Code Section 30-388.32. This fund receives $4 for each assessment of costs pursuant to parking violations. The Clerk of the Courts may authorize expenditures to these funds for the enhancement of the services provided by his office.
(vi) Bid Protest Trust Fund
Established June 15, 2001 by Administrative Order 3-21 which supersedes previous Administrative Order 3-21 dated March 18, 2001. This Administrative Order defines the requirements and procedures governing a bid protest brought by a participant with respect to the recommended award of a County contract or purchase involving the expenditure of over $25,000. It provides that the protester pay a non-refundable filing fee in accordance with a fixed rate schedule which is used to defray the costs of administering the bid protest program.

Effective July 1, 2004, per section 28.24(12)(e) Florida Statutes, the Court Technology Trust Fund receives $1.90 per page per instrument recorded in the official records of the County Recorder. The funds are utilized for funding court-related technology needs of the Clerk.
(viii) Public Records Modernization Ten Percent of Fines Trust Fund
Effective July 1, 2009, section 28.37(2) Florida Statutes mandated that 10% of all court-related fines be deposited into the Clerk’s Public Records Modernization Trust Fund to be used exclusively for additional clerk court-related operational needs and program enhancements.
C. Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds of the Clerk are Agency Funds which report assets received for, and disbursed to, other governmental units or outside persons or groups. Agency funds are custodial in nature and, accordingly, do not report equity nor involve the measurement of results of operations.
D. Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The accounts of the Governmental Fund Types and Fiduciary Fund Type are maintained on the modified accrual basis. Under the modified accrual basis, liabilities are recorded at the time they are incurred and assets are recorded as they are both measurable and available to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred and revenues are recorded when received in cash or when they are considered both measurable and available.
E. Classification of Agency Funds
The accounts of the Clerk’s Agency Fund have been classified into two sets - the Circuit Court Agency Fund and the County Agency Fund.

Accounts for the collection and proper release of County Court bonds.
F. Investments
Investments are carried at fair value, except for investments with an original maturity of one year or less at the date of purchase which are carried at amortized cost.
G. Budgetary Requirements
(i) General Fund
Section 129.03 Florida Statutes governs the preparation, adoption and administration of the Clerk’s annual General Fund budget. The Clerk prepares a budget for the ex-officio functions for the General Fund and submits it to the Board for approval. Any subsequent amendments to the total General Fund budget must be approved by the Board.
(ii) Court Operations Fund
Sections 28.35 and 28.36, Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption and administration of the Clerk’s annual budget for the Circuit and County Court functions. Legislation passed in 2013 provided that Clerks be removed from the State appropriations process and returned the Clerks to a county fiscal year.
Effective July 1, 2013, the Clerk prepares a budget for the Court Operations Fund and submits it to the CCOC for approval. After the CCOC reviews and approves the budget request for each Clerk, the budgets are then submitted to the Legislative Budget Commission for final approval. The Clerk’s Offices are funded from filing fees, service charge, court costs and fines.
(iii) Lobbyist Registration Trust Fund
The Clerk’s Office does not prepare an annual budget for this fund. County Ordinance 98-76 governs the administration of the Lobbyist Registration Trust Fund. Fees collected are utilized to fund the cost of administering the provision of the Ordinance.

G. Budgetary Requirements (cont’d)
(iv) Code Enforcement Technological Trust Fund
The Clerk’s Office does not prepare an annual budget for this fund. Chapter 8CC-10.1 of the Code of Miami-Dade County governs the administration of the Code Enforcement Technology Trust Fund. A committee of 5 members, who are jointly appointed by the Clerk and the County Mayor review all requests for expenditures and determine the priority of use of the funds.
The budgets are prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the departmental level. Appropriations lapse at year-end. Budgetary control is maintained at the departmental major object expenditure level. Budgetary changes within major object expenditure categories are made at the discretion of the Clerk. The Clerk does not adopt a budget for the non-major governmental Special Revenue Funds.
H. Capital Assets
The tangible personal property used by the Clerk is reported in the Account Group of the County. Upon acquisition, such assets are recorded as expenditures in the General Fund of the Clerk and capitalized at cost in the General Fixed Assets Account Group of the County. The Clerk maintains custodial responsibility for the fixed assets used by the office. Fixed assets held by the Clerk totaled approximately $3,726,000 at September 30, 2016.
Furniture and Equipment is the only category maintained in the Clerk’s Office. It has a capitalization threshold of $5,000 and a useful life of seven years. These assets include fixed or movable tangible assets to be used for operation such as machinery, computers, printers, radios, vehicles, etc.
(i) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report aggregate amounts for two classifications of fund balances based on the constraints imposed on the use of these resources.
Restricted fund balance. This classification reflects the constraints imposed on resources either (a) externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance. These amounts can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal resolutions or ordinances of the Board of County Commissioners (the Board)—the government’s highest level of decision making authority. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Board removes the specified use by taking the same type of action imposing the commitment.
Note 3 - Cash and Investments
At September 30, 2016, the approximate carrying amount of the Clerk’s Agency Fund’s demand deposits and cash equivalents was $206,255,000 and the approximate bank balance was $226,136,000. In addition, cash equivalents in the major governmental special revenue funds of approximately $16,890,000 were maintained by the County in the County’s pooled cash system. All cash deposits are held in banking institutions approved by the State of Florida State Treasurer to hold public funds. Under the State of Florida Statutes Chapter 280, “Florida Security for Public Deposits Act,” the State Treasurer requires all qualified public depositories to deposit with the Treasurer to another banking institution eligible collateral equal to 50% to 125% of the average daily balance for each month of all public deposits in excess of any applicable deposit insurance held. The percentage of eligible collateral (generally U.S. Government and agency securities, state or local government debt, or corporate bonds) to public deposits is dependent upon the depository’s financial history and its compliance with Chapter 280. Any losses to public depositors are covered by applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral and, if necessary, assessments against other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default.
At September 30, 2016 the Clerk’s demand deposits and cash equivalents had no credit risk, custodial credit risk, concentration of credit risk or interest rate risk.
The Clerk’s investments which are administered by the County, are made in accordance with Florida Statutes 218.415, and County Ordinance 84-47, Resolution R-31-09 and its Investment Policy to make certain investments. The Investment Policy was updated and adopted on January 22, 2009 in response to current and possible uncertainties in the domestic and international financial markets. The County’s overall investment objectives are, in order of priority, the safety of principal, liquidity of funds and maximization of investment income.

Earnings for non-court investments are remitted to the County. Court-related investment earnings are generally retained by the Clerk. The exception is for funds received in Court Registries subject to investment restrictions pursuant to court orders and for which only 10% of the related investment earnings are retained by the Clerk. Any idle cash is invested by the Clerk. Total interest earned on the Clerk’s investments during the year amounted to approximately $20,600. Interest earned by the special revenue funds maintained in the County’s pooled cash system was approximately $8,200.
The Clerk considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2016 the Clerk did not hold any investments with maturities greater than three months.
Note 4 - Capital Assets
The following is a summary of capital assets activity during the current year:
Beginning Balance Increases Decreases

Note 5 - Lease Commitments
The Clerk leases office space under arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Total rental expenditure under these leases was approximately $999,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016.
Note 6 - Pension Plan
The Clerk’s employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS) Pension Plan, a cost-sharing, multiple-employer, public employee retirement plan which covers substantially all of the Clerk’s full-time and part-time employees. The FRS was established in December 1, 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes. The FRS is a defined benefit plan, qualified under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
All eligible employees who were hired after November 1970 and those employed previously and electing to be enrolled, are covered by the FRS. Employees enrolled in the FRS before July 1, 2011 vest after 6 years of service. Those enrolled on or after that date vest after 8 years of service. Benefits are computed on the basis of age, earnings, creditable service, and membership class. Retired employees are entitled to an annual retirement benefit payable monthly for life. The FRS also provides for early retirement at reduced benefits, as well as death and disability benefits.
The FRS is a contributory system and is administered by the State of Florida. Contribution rates are set by the Florida Legislature each year and are subject to change. Effective July 1, 2011, retirement contributions are paid by both employees (employee contribution rate is 3% of salary) and their participating employers. From October 1975 through June 2011 the FRS had been an employee-noncontributory system.
Employer contribution rates are blended for the five membership classes and are established as a percentage of salaries. The Clerk’s contribution to the FRS for the year ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $5,106,000 compared to $5,056,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015 and $4,677,000 for September 30, 2014. This represents pension costs of 9%, 9% and 8% of gross salaries in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Clerk has met all contribution requirements for the current year and the preceding two years.
FRS issues an annual financial report. A copy can be obtained by writing to Division of Retirement, Research and Education Section, P.O. Box 9000, Tallahassee, FL 32315-9000, by calling toll-free (877) 377-1737, or by visiting their website at http://FRS.myFlorida.com.
Note 7 - Deferred Compensation Plan
During fiscal year 1999 the County adopted the Provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 457, whereby the assets and income of the deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries. The County has also elected to transfer all fiduciary responsibilities to an external third party, and as such, the assets and income from the Plan are not reported in the County’s financial statements.

Note 8 - Long-Term Obligations – Compensated Absences
It is the County’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits, which will be paid to employees upon separation from County service. The Clerk accrues vacation and sick pay benefits in the period they are earned. Accrued vacation and sick pay are included in the basic financial statements of the County.
The following is a summary of changes in long-term obligations during the current year:

Note 9- Insurance Coverage
The Clerk participates in the County’s self-insurance programs. The County’s Risk Management Division (RMD) administers workers’ compensation and auto and general liability self-insurance programs. No excess coverage is purchased for these programs. The County purchases excess commercial property insurance for County-owned properties. The group medical and life insurance programs are also self-insured and are managed by an independent third party administrator. Premiums are charged to the various County departments based on amounts necessary to fund the program. For the year ended September 30, 2016 the Clerk paid approximately $10,874,000 in premiums for the self-insured programs.

Note 11 - Article V Activities
Legislation
Effective July 1, 2004, the Clerk implemented the provision of Constitutional Revision 7 to Article V of the Florida Constitution. Article V activities relate to the operation of the Circuit and County Court functions. It allocated state court system funding among state, counties and users of courts. It addressed, but was not limited to, funding responsibilities. The Clerk accounts for all revenues and expenditures for Circuit and County court functions in its major Special Revenue Fund, Court Operations.
From July 1, 2009 through the SFY June 30, 2013 the Florida Legislature decreed that the Clerks of Court be funded from State appropriations. Legislation enacted in 2013, removed the Clerks from the State appropriations process and returned them to a county fiscal year. As a result of this change, the Clerks are funded by fees collected locally as opposed to an appropriation. Each Clerk’s Office now submits its budget request to the CCOC, who submits them to the LBC for final approval. The LBC shall approve, disapprove, or amend and approve the total of the Clerk’s combined budget or any individual Clerk’s budget.
Pursuant to F.S. 28.37(2), Clerks are also required to remit monthly to the Florida Department of Revenues collections that are in excess of one-twelfth of the annual approved court budget. The changes in Section 28.37(3), F.S. also allowed Clerks to retain collected revenues from September 2015 to fund cash flow requirements for the year ended September 30, 2016 and to remit unspent collected and appropriated funds from September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016, on January 25, 2017. Unspent funds are the excess of distributions from the Clerk of Courts Trust Fund and collected revenue over expenditures, net of surplus already transferred to the State. Additionally, effective July 1, 2009, ten percent of all court-related fines collected by the Clerk are deposited into the Clerk’s Public Records Modernization Trust Fund to be used exclusively for additional court-related operational needs and programs. The Clerk established the Public Records Modernization Ten Percent of Fines Trust Fund (Trust Fund) to account for this activity.

Note 11 - Article V Activities (cont’d)
Budget Authority
For the year ended September 30, 2016, Clerks of the Courts collectively were authorized to spend approximately $417,080,000 of their total collected revenues and $30,526,000 of the ten percent of court-related fines. The expenditure authority originally allocated to the Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts $66,154,000 from Clerk’s revenues and $3,900,000 from the ten percent of court-related fines. Additionally, the CCOC allocated approximately $552,000 from the Clerk’s Trust Fund to cover the projected shortfall of revenues. In April 2016, after considerations of a shortfall in local revenues, the CCOC approved a revised revenue and ten percent of fines budget cap of $63,765,000 and $3,900,000, respectively. The allocation from the Clerk of Courts Trust Fund was increased to approximately $4,859,000. The funding for the Clerk’s Offices is derived from filing fees, service charges, court costs and fines. The CCOC, with the endorsement of the Justice Administrative Commission, allocated additional funding of approximately $278,000 to the Juror Cost Initiative for the last quarter of CFY 2015-16.
Expenditures and Surplus Transferred to the State of Florida
Pursuant to F.S. 28.37(2), Clerks are required to remit monthly to the Florida Department of Revenues collections that are in excess of one-twelfth of the annual approved court budget. Excess funds transferred to the State for the year ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $290,000. Pursuant to F.S. 28.37(3), the annual transfer to the State of Florida of unspent collected and appropriated funds from September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016 must take place by January 25, 2017. The Clerk transferred approximately $958,000 in November 2016. The Clerk remitted early the portion of the settle-up to the State of Florida at the request of the CCOC. As of September 30, 2016, unspent funds totaled approximately $5,527,000 and comprise the majority of the Court Operation’s Special Revenue Fund liability to the State of Florida. These unspent funds are part of the September 2016 collected revenues which can be used to fund cash flow requirements for the year ended September 30, 2017. The Juror Cost Initiative allocation for the quarter ending September 30, 2016 had an unspent balance of approximately $28,000.

Note 12 - Pronouncements Issued, Not Yet Effective, and Recently Adopted
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued several pronouncements that have effective dates in the future that may impact future financial presentations.
GASB Statement No. 72– Fair Value Measurement and Application
This Statement requires disclosures to be made about fair value measurements, the level of fair value hierarchy, and valuation techniques. Governments should organize these disclosures by type of asset or liability reported at fair value. It also requires additional disclosures regarding investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2015. Management has determined this statement will have no effect on the Clerk’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 73– Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements No. 67 and 68 This Statement establishes requirements for defined benefit pensions that are not within the scope of Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, as well as for the assets accumulated for purposes of providing those pensions. In addition, it establishes requirements for defined contribution pensions that are not within the scope of Statement 68. It also amends certain provisions of Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans and Statement 68 for pension plans and pensions that are within their respective scopes. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2015. Management has determined this statement will have no effect on the Clerk’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 74– Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans This Statement replaces Statements No. 43, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, as amended, and No. 57, OPEB Measurements by Agent Employers and Agent Multiple-Employer Plans. It also includes requirements for defined contribution OPEB plans that replace the requirements for those OPEB plans in Statement No. 25, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans, as amended, Statement 43, and Statement No. 50, Pension Disclosures.

Note 12 - Pronouncements Issued, Not Yet Effective, and Recently Adopted (cont’d)
GASB Statement No. 75– Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions The scope of this Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for OPEB that is provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers. This Statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures. For defined benefit OPEB, this Statement identifies the methods and assumptions that are required to be used to project benefit payments, discount projected benefit payments to their actuarial present value, and attribute that present value to periods of employee service. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017. Management has not currently determined what effect implementation of this statement may have on the Clerk’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 76– The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments The objective of this Statement is to identify—in the context of the current governmental financial reporting environment—the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The “GAAP hierarchy” consists of the sources of accounting principles used to prepare financial statements of state and local governmental entities in conformity with GAAP and the framework for selecting those principles. This Statement reduces the GAAP hierarchy to two categories of authoritative GAAP and addresses the use of authoritative and non-authoritative literature in the event that the accounting treatment for a transaction or other event is not specified within a source of authoritative GAAP. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2015. Management has determined this statement will have no effect on the Clerk’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 77– Tax Abatement Disclosures This Statement defines tax abatement as resulting from an agreement between a government and an individual or entity in which the government promises to forgo tax revenues and the individual or entity promises to subsequently take a specific action that contributes to economic development or otherwise benefits the government or its citizens. The Statement requires disclosure of tax abatement information about (1) a reporting government’s own tax abatement agreements and (2) those that are entered into by other governments and that reduce the reporting government’s tax revenues. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management has determined this statement will have no effect on the Clerk’s financial statements.

GASB Statement No. 78– Pensions Provided through Certain Multiple Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plans
This Statement amends the scope and applicability of Statement No. 68, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions” to exclude pensions provided to employees of state of local governmental employers through a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that (1) is not a state or local governmental pension plan, (2) is used to provide defined benefits pensions both to employees of state or local governmental employers, and (3) has not predominant state of local governmental employers. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management has not currently determined what effect implementation of this statement may have on the Clerk’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 79– Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants
This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain external investment pools and pool participants. Specifically, it establishes criteria for an external investment pool to qualify for making the election to measure all of its investments at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2015. Management has determined this statement will have no effect on the Clerk’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 80– Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units an amendment of GASB Statement No. 14
This Statement amends the blending requirements for the financial statement presentation of component units of all state and local governments. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2016. Management has determined this statement will have no effect on the Clerk’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 81– Irrevocable Split-Interest Agreement
This Statement requires that a government that receives resources pursuant to an irrevocable split-interest agreement recognize assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources at the inception of the agreement. Furthermore, this Statement requires that a government recognize assets representing its beneficial interests in irrevocable split-interest agreements that are administered by a third party, if the government controls the present service capacity of the beneficial interests. This Statement requires that a government recognize revenue when the resources become applicable to the reporting period. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

Note 12 - Pronouncements Issued, Not Yet Effective, and Recently Adopted (cont’d)
GASB Statement No. 82– Pension Issues- and amendment of GASB Statement No. 67, No. 68, and No. 73 This Statement addresses issues regarding (1) the presentation of payroll-related measures in required supplementary information, (2) the selection of assumptions and the treatment of deviations from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice for financial reporting purposes, and (3) the classification of payments made by employers to satisfy employee (plan member) contribution requirements. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the financial reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2016, except for the requirements of paragraph 7 in a circumstance in which an employer’s pension liability is measured as of a date other than the employer’s most recent fiscal year-end. In that circumstance, the requirements of paragraph 7 are effective for that employer in the first reporting period in which the measurement date of the pension liability is on or after June 15, 2017. Management has not currently determined what effect implementation of this statement may have on the Clerk’s financial statements.
Note 13 - Contingencies
Cost reflected in the accompanying financial statements relating to the Florida Department of Revenue funded Child Support Enforcement Program are subject to audit by the grantor agency. The possible disallowance by the grantor agency of any item charged to the Program, if any, cannot be determined at this time. No provision for any liability that may result has been made in the financial statements. A significant reduction in the level of this funding, if this were to occur, would have an effect on the Clerk’s ability to carry out the activities of the Child Support Enforcement Program.
Note 14 - Subsequent Event
The Clerk has evaluated events and transactions for subsequent events that would impact the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016 through January 25, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To Honorable Harvey Ruvin, Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts of Miami-Dade County, Florida
Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts of the Miami-Dade County, Florida, Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida (The “Clerk”), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Clerk’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 25, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Clerk’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
32
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Clerk’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

2016-01 – Self-Insurance Fund Deficit(Comment has been repeated from 2012-01, 2013-01, 2014-01 and 2015-01)
Criteria: Government Accounting Standards allows the use of internal service funds to report any activity that provides goods or services to other funds, departments, or agencies of the primary government and its component units, on a cost-reimbursement basis. Internal service funds are specifically designed for goods or services that are provided on a cost reimbursement basis. An internal service fund should be used to measure the full cost of providing goods or services for the purpose of fully recovering that cost through fees or charges to other funds.
Condition: We noted that the County’s self-insurance fund had an accumulated deficit of approximately $240.7 million as of September 30, 2016, which increased approximately 30.8 million from the previous fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.
Cause: The rates established to charge each participating fund and/or departments of the County were not sufficient to reimburse the costs of operating the self-insurance fund.
Effect: The County may not have enough resources accumulated to fully liquidate risk financing liabilities as they become due. In addition, if the deficit is not eliminated within a reasonable period of time, this would result in noncompliance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Recommendation: We recommend that the County review its risk financing program rates, charged to user funds and/or departments to cover the risk financing program current costs and to fund theaccumulated deficit. The rates charged by the internal service fund to the other funds should be based on a systematic method and adjusted periodically so that internal service fund revenues and expenses are approximately equal over a period of time.
Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management reviews and sets the self-insurance rates on an annual basis as part of the budget process, with the goal to budget sufficient funds to cover annual costs and reduce the incurred but not reported (IBNR) liability each year in the Self-Insurance Fund. However, the IBNR liability, as of September 30th of any given year, is determined after the fiscal year end, while the budget for the ensuing year is finalized before the fiscal year end. As a result, the Workers’ Compensation rates set for FY2015-16 were established using actuarial information developed for the FY2013-14 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
Efforts are indeed made to improve claim reserves and payouts, but impacts associated with long-term liability adjustments that happen after the year closes and a new budget is adopted, leave no room for current-year rates to be adjusted.
In fiscal year 2015-16 the County increased its workers’ compensation contribution rates by $10 million and continued the additional $10 million contribution into fiscal year 2016-17. The 2017-18 rates will be adjusted and the County will be contributing $20 million (a 28% increase) into the Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance sub-fund to help reduce the fund deficit.
Other adjustments include an increase in the per employee County contributions to the health portion of the self-insurance fund. In 2016-17 the per employee contribution increased by $2,634 which contributed to an estimated revenue increase of $62.5 million.
Management continues to make every effort to offset the various liability adjustments; however, due to unforeseen changes in State Law and/or unfunded mandates and other economic impacts occurring after rates are set limit the ability to cure the fund deficits over a single fiscal period. The County will continue to adjust rates and/or implement policies that will help reduce costs into future years and further reduce the Self-Insurance deficit.

2016-02 – Password Configurations(Comment has been repeated from 2014-05 and 2015-04)
Criteria: An appropriate level of password complexity, length, history, and expiration for all in-scope information systems be established and implemented.
Condition: Network, payroll and RACF password configuration setting over password expiration, password history, and invalid password attempts do not meet the minimum requirements as stated in the MDC Enterprise Information Security Policy Manual.
Specifically, the following observations over password configurations were noted:
1. Noted that network passwords are not configured to have a password expiration time interval. 2. Noted that the Payroll password configuration for invalid password attempts is 99, while the policy
dictates 55 invalid password attempts.3. Noted that the RACF password history is configured at four (4) passwords remembered, while the
policy dictates ten (10) passwords remembered.
Cause: Password configuration settings have not been adjusted to meet minimum requirements as stated in the ITD Information Security Policy.
Effect: Risks include unauthorized use, disclosure of proprietary information, modification, damage, or loss of data.
Recommendation: Management should consider adjusting the password minimum length, password history, and password expiration settings to meet the minimum requirements as stated in the ITD Information Security Policy.
Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management concurs with the findingsand provides the following responses:
Applicable to network passwords findings (Item 1) – The ITD Information Security Office has drafted the operational plan required to fully align the operational process with the documented policy. The first phase of the action plan has been completed with ITD being the initial department to implement the mandatory password expiration and notification of password resets.
The next phase includes a rollout to all County departments, ITD will begin with a communication to all departments regarding the existing Password Policy, followed by a phased plan to disseminate and coordinate controlled forced password resets to all targeted departments once the final scope and the individual departmental service impact has been evaluated. A proposed timeline estimate for this phase and completion of the project is anticipated to be one (1) year from the start date.
Applicable to payroll finding (Item 2) – In collaboration with the functional business user responsible for this configuration parameter, a plan was developed and executed in order to update and change all operator records with existing limits of 99 to the appropriate limit of 55. Payroll password attempts limits is compliant with published policy as of May 31, 2017.
Applicable to network and RACF findings (Item 3) – A corrective plan has been developed and executed to ensure that the current settings are in compliance with the ITD Information Security Policy that dictates ten (10) passwords remembered. RACF password history configuration has been changed in accordance with published policy as of December 31, 2016.

2016-03 Policy Acknowledgment
Criteria: The MDC Enterprise Information Security Policy guides the implementation of security practices within MDC and is regularly updated to reflect any changes to IT Configuration, Risk Assessment and Policies.
Condition: Although determined that the MDC Enterprise Information Security Policy Manual is in place and updated regularly, noted that three (3) of 11 new hires sampled did not acknowledge receipt and adherence to the policy within the period under audit (10/1/2015 – 9/30/2016) as documented below:
Employee Title Hire DateIT Policy
Acknowledgment Date

Finance Collection Specialist 08/01/2016 02/02/2017
Information Officer 09/13/2016 03/02/2017
Cause: IT policy acknowledgements are not completed by new employees within a timely manner upon hire.
Effect: Risks include potential misuse of company assets and information, as employees may be unaware of IT and security policies and requirements.
Recommendation: Management should consider consistently obtaining the acknowledgment of IT policies for new hires in a timely manner in order to help ensure that employees are aware of the current policies and procedures, and to mitigate the risk of proper procedures not being followed or performed by personnel.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management concurs and has implemented new procedures for new County employees that includes a Checklist of documents to be completed. Each new employee will complete the IT Policy Acknowledgment form during the on-boarding process.

MANAGEMENT LETTER
PUBLIC HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
March 30, 2017
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of County CommissionersMiami-Dade CountyMiami, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Miami-Dade Public Housing and Community Development Department (the “Department”) for the year ended September 30, 2016. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated December 16, 2016. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices,
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the Department are described in Note A to the financial statements. As described in Note A-9 to the financial statements, the Department changed accounting policies related to pensions by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants in 2016. We noted no transactions entered into by the Department during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the Department’s financial statements were:
1. Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivables is based on the types of the receivables, the periodic aging, and prior experience. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
2. The useful lives of capital assets are based on expected future benefit of the capitalized assets.
3. In following the policy of Dade County, the Department permits employees to accumulated earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. The significant estimate is determining how much is current versus noncurrent.
Miami-Dade CountyMarch 30, 2017Page 2
4. The postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated on the annual required contribution of the employer which is an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
5. As discussed in Note B-8 to the financial statements, the Department’s net pension liability under the Florida Retirement System Pension Plan and the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program is an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statements No. 68 and No. 71. The amounts are primarily derivedfrom the audits of the State-administered retirement systems which are allocated to Dade County and then further allocated to the Department.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. All corrected misstatements were provided by management and have been reflected in the Department’s financial statements.Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated March 30, 2017.Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Department’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.Other Audit Findings or Issue
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Department’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Miami-Dade CountyMarch 30, 2017Page 3
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Department as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the Department’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as discussed below (along with management’s responses), we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider less serious than a significant deficiency, as defined above, but that we believe to be of potential benefit to the Department in improving operational and administrative efficiency or for improving internal control:
During the course of our audit, we noted programmers have access rights that allow them to change production programs or data. This increases the risk of unauthorized change, destruction, or disclosure of financial information.Management’s response: Programmers need to have the necessary permissions in order to support the environment and implement any modifications, new enhancements, and bug fixes. Any changes in production that may have a significant potential impact are tested in the test environment first before being promoted to production. Additionally, incremental and full backups are performed at regular intervals in order to restore the system to a prior state in the event there is an occurrence that has a negative impact. PHCD is currently in the process of migrating out of its legacy financial system onto a newer system under the same vendor. The newer system has more granular security and will limit or eliminate this altogether.
During the course of our audit, we noted there are three Windows 2003 servers out of 17 servers on the network. Microsoft ended support for Windows 2003 on July 14, 2015, and patches for Windows 2003 servers are no longer issued. This increases the risk of a security breach, unauthorized changes, and unauthorized disclosure, destruction of programs and data, and unavailability of financial information.Management’s response: This was previously reported as an observation in prior audit and responded to accordingly. Same response still applies (see below):
From March 06, 2015: The servers are still running in 2003 due to application limitations. Servers will be upgraded as the vendors release versions compatible with newer Windows OS or when we switch to applications compatible with newer Windows OS.
During the course of our audit, we noted that the disaster recovery plan had not been tested. If the disaster recovery plan is not tested at least once annually it may fail in the event of a disaster and service may not be restored in a timely fashion.
Miami-Dade CountyMarch 30, 2017Page 4
Management’s Response: The County’s IT disaster recovery plan is tested annually in regards to its business critical mainframe systems. It is currently discussing expanding such testing to other systems/applications.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, schedule of funding progress, and schedules of pension-related information, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.We were engaged to report on the financial data schedule, schedules of actual program costs and advances, and the schedule of expenditures of federal and state financial assistance, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the use of the Miami-Dade County Board of Commissioners and management of the Department and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.Very truly yours,

The Honorable Mayor and Chairperson and Members of the Board of County Commissioners Miami-Dade County, Florida
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Waste Management Enterprise Fund of the Waste Management (Waste Management) of Miami-Dade County, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 201 , in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, we considered Waste Management’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Waste Management’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Waste Management’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A deficiency in design exists when (a) a control necessary to meet the control objective is missing or (b) an existing control is not properly designed so that, even if the control operates as designed, the control objective would not be met. A deficiency in operation exists when a properly designed control does not operate as designed or when the person performing the control does not possess the necessary authority or competence to perform the control effectively.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

The Honorable Mayor and Chairperson and Members of the Board of County CommissionersMiami-Dade County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Waste ManagementEnterprise Fund of the Department of Solid Waste Management (Waste Management), an enterprise fundof Miami-Dade County, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Waste Management’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 29, 2017.
Internal Control over Financial ReportingIn planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Waste Management’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Waste Management’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Waste Management’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis.

The Honorable Mayor and Chairperson andMembers of the Board of County CommissionersMiami-Dade County, Florida
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Miami-Dade County Seaport Department (the Department), an Enterprise Fund of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the County), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in theUnited States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, we considered the Department’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A deficiency in design exists when: (a) a control necessary to meet the control objective is missing or (b) an existing control is not properly designed so that, even if the control operates as designed, the control objective would not be met. A deficiency in operation exists when a properly designed control does not operate as designed or when the person performing the control does not possess the necessary authority or competence to perform the control effectively.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is lesssevere than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and wasnot designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The control deficiency included in Appendix A is not considered a significant deficiency or material weakness.
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

ML 2016-01 Capital Asset Management
Criteria: Seaport’s capital asset balance as of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 was $1.1 billion.Given the size of the entity, Seaport should utilize a capital asset software program to manage its capital asset inventory and related activity (construction projects, overhead costs, etc.).
Condition: We noted that the Seaport’s capital asset inventory and related activities are being managed though the use of spreadsheets instead of a capital asset software program. Use of spreadsheets do not allow for the proper identification and tracking of asset purchases, disposals, and activity on an ongoing basis.
Cause: Seaport has previously considered but not finalized a formal plan to procure and implement a capital asset software program.
Effect: The management of capital asset inventory and activity through the use of spreadsheets is subject to human error and/or the loss of data in the event that the spreadsheet files are destroyed. This could result in the misstatement of the financial statements and/or the loss of relevant financial data.
Recommendation: We recommend that Seaport utilize a capital asset software program to facilitate the management of its capital asset inventory and activity, and adopt a formal plan to procure and implement a software program in the near future.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: We acknowledge and concur with the recommendation that a capital asset software package that can manage all of the capital asset needs including financial reporting would be an improvement to the overall capital asset management process. With the implementation of an ERP System, the County will be using the ERP Fixed Asset module as the countywide solution for fixed asset management and reporting. The County has purchased an ERP system and is currently in negotiations to contract a vendor to implement the Countywide ERP system. However, even though the current process is not the preferred way to track assets, it should be noted there have not been any exceptions identified that have resulted in a financial statement misstatement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Carlos A. Gimenez, Mayor, and Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Board of County Commissioners Miami-Dade County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the accompanying financial statements of the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, a department of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the Department), which comprise the statement of net position as of September 30, 2016 and the related statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position, and cash flow for the fiscal year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 28, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Department’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Department’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR STATE PROJECT AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE; AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES
OF STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 10.550, RULESOF THE AUDITOR GENERAL
Honorable Carlos A. Gimenez, Mayor, and Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Board of County Commissioners Miami-Dade County, Florida
Report on Compliance for Each Major State Project
We have audited Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, a department of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the Department) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the Department of Financial Services’ State Projects Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the Department’s major state project for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. The Department’s major state project is identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with state statues, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its state projects.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for the Department’s state project based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor. Those standards and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Department’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for its major state project. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Department’s compliance.
4
Opinion on the Major State Project
In our opinion, the Department complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major state project for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Department is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Department’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on its major state project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for its major state project and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state project will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of State Financial Assistance Required by Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General
We have audited the financial statements of the Department as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, and have issued our report thereon dated March 28, 2017, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Internal Control Over Financial ReportingIn planning and performing our audit, we considered the County’s internal control over financial reporting(internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the County’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Asignificant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other MattersAs part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County’s financial statements are free frommaterial misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This ReportThe purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Compliance For Each Major Federal Program and State Project; Report on Internal Control Over Compliance; and Report On the Schedule of Expenditures
of Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance Required by the Uniform Guidanceand Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, State of Florida
Independent Auditor’s Report
The Honorable Mayor and Chairperson andMembers of the Board of County CommissionersMiami-Dade County, Florida
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and State ProjectWe have audited Miami-Dade County, Florida’s (the County) compliance with the types of compliancerequirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Florida Department of Financial Services’ State Projects Compliance Supplement, that could have a direct and material effect on each of the County’s major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2016. The County’s major federal programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
The County’s basic financial statements include the operations of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department; Miami-Dade Transit Department; Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County; the Miami-Dade Housing Agency; and Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, which received approximately $28,089,597;$128,876,634; $9,035,580; $248,512,630; and $10,171,458, respectively, in federal awards and statefinancial assistance, which are not included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance for the year ended September 30, 2016. Our audit, described below, did not include the operations of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department; Miami-Dade Transit Department; Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County; the Miami-Dade Housing Agency; and Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department because these departments engaged other auditors to separately perform an audit inaccordance with the Uniform Guidance, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, State of Florida.
Management’s ResponsibilityManagement is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its federal programs and state projects.
Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the County’s major federal programs and state projects based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance); and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, State of Florida. Those standards and the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or major state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the County’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
4
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state project. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the County’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State ProjectIn our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs andstate projects for the year ended September 30, 2016.
Other MattersThe results of our auditing procedures disclosed an instance of noncompliance, which is required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and which is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item CF 2016-001. Our opinion on each major federal program is not modified with respect to these matters.
The County’s response to the noncompliance finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The County’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on theresponse.
Report on Internal Control Over ComplianceManagement of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the County’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program and state project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state project and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. Asignificant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control over compliance, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item IC 2016-001, that we consider to be a significantdeficiency.
The County’s response to the internal control over compliance finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The County’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
5
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance Required by the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor GeneralWe have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated March 31, 2017, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements and a reference to other auditors. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditure of federal awards and state financial assistance is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Miami, FloridaJune 29, 2017, except for our report on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance, for which the date is March 31, 2017

Miami-Dade County, Florida
Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance
23
Note 1. GeneralThe accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance (the Schedule) presents the activity of all federal award programs and state financial assistance projects of the General Government, Miami-Dade County Seaport Department, and the Waste Management Enterprise Fund of the Department of Solid Waste Management of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the County) for the year ended September 30, 2016. Consequently, the Schedule does not include the federal award programs and state financial assistance of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department; Miami-Dade Transit; the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County; Miami-Dade Housing Agency; and Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department. Federal awards programs and state financial assistance projects received directly, as well as passed through other government agencies, are included on the Schedule. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or where applicable, cash flows of the County.
Note 2. Basis of AccountingThe Schedule includes the federal and state grant activity of certain funds and departments of the County, as described above, and is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting for grants which are accounted for in the governmental fund types and on the accrual basis of accounting for grants which are accounted for in the proprietary fund types. Such expenditures are reported following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements.
Note 3. SubrecipientsCertain program funds are passed through the County to subrecipient organizations. Subrecipients are noted on the schedule as “pass-through amount to subrecipent.”
Note 4. Indirect Cost RecoveryThe County did not recover its indirect costs using the 10% de minis indirect cost rate provided under Section 200.414 of the Uniform Guidance.

Report of Independent Auditor on Internal Control over Financial Reportingand on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements
Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of the County Commissioners Miami-Dade County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Miami-Dade Aviation Department (the Aviation Department), an enterprise fund of Miami-Dade County, Florida, which comprise the statement of net position as of September 30, 2016, and the related statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 10, 2017.
Internal Control over Financial ReportingIn planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Aviation Department's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Aviation Department's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Aviation Department's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. We did identify a deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, as item 2016-001, that we consider to be a significant deficiency.
Compliance and Other MattersAs part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Aviation Department's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
2
Miami Dade Aviation Department’s Response to FindingThe Aviation Department’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned cost. The Aviation Department’s response was not subject to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Purpose of this ReportThe purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Aviation Department's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Aviation Department's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report of Independent Auditor on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program andState Financial Assistance Project and on Internal Control over Compliance Required
by the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of the County Commissioners Miami-Dade County, Florida
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and State Financial Assistance ProjectWe have audited the Miami-Dade Aviation Department's (the “Aviation Department”) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Florida Department of Financial Services' State Projects Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the Aviation Department's major federal program and state financial assistance project for the year ended September 30, 2016. The Aviation Department's major federal program and state financial assistance project are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s ResponsibilityManagement is responsible for compliance with federal and state statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal and state awards applicable to its federal program and state financial assistance project.
Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for the Aviation Department's major federal program and state financial assistance project based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance); and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida (“Chapter 10.550”). Those standards, the Uniform Guidance, and Chapter 10.550, require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state financial assistance project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Aviation Department's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for the major federal program and state financial assistance project. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Aviation Department's compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Financial Assistance ProjectIn our opinion, the Aviation Department complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal programs and state financial assistance project for the year ended September 30, 2016.
4
Report on Internal Control over ComplianceManagement of the Aviation Department is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Authority's internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program and state financial assistance project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state financial assistance project and to test and report on internal controls over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, but not for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Aviation Department's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state financial assistance project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state financial assistance project will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state financial assistance project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance Required bythe Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550We have audited the financial statements of the Aviation Department, an enterprise fund of Miami-Dade County, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Aviation Department’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated March 10, 2017, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550 and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Aviation Department’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on the passenger facility charge program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for the passenger facility charge program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Guide, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Aviation Department’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the passenger facility charge program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the passenger facility charge program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the passenger facility charge program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Report on Schedule of Passenger Facility Charges Required by the GuideWe have audited the financial statements of the Aviation Department, an enterprise fund of Miami-Dade County, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Aviation Department’s basic financial statements. We have issued our report thereon dated March 10, 2017, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of passenger facility charges is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Guide, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of passenger facility charges is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Guide. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

MIAMI–DADE COUNTY AVIATION DEPARTMENTNOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS AND STATE FINANCIALASSISTANCE AND PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGES
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
9
Note 1—Basis of presentation
The schedules of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance and passenger facility charges (the “Schedules”) include all grants, contracts, and similar agreements entered into directly between the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (the “Aviation Department”) and agencies and departments of the federal and state governments. It also includes all subawards to the Aviation Department by nonfederal organizations pursuant to federal and state grants, contracts, and similar agreements. The information in these schedules is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, and the Passenger Facility Charge Audit Guide for Public Agencies, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration in September 2000. The grants reflect transactions for the fiscal year irrespective of the year of grant award, and accordingly, the Schedules do not include a full year's activity for grants awarded or terminated on dates not coinciding with the aforementioned fiscal year.
The Aviation Department has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Note 2—Passenger facility charges
Revenue consists of passenger facility fees and investment earnings on the restricted cash related to passenger facility charges. Expenditures represent airport construction-related costs incurred at the Aviation Department. Unliquidated passenger facility charges represent the net restricted cash and passenger facility fees receivable less related accounts payable as of year-end.

Part II—Financial statement findings
This section identifies the significant deficiencies, material weaknesses, fraud, illegal acts, violations of provisions of contracts and agreements, and abuse related to the financial statements that are required to be reported in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
Finding 2016-001 Significant Deficiency in the Design of Internal Controls over Infrequent Transactions
Criteria: An effective system of internal controls contemplates that management can administer a financial statement close and reporting processes such that misstatements that are material to financial statements that are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States will be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Statement No. 23 of the Government Accounting Standards Board Accounting and Financial Reporting for Refundings of Debt Reported by Proprietary Activities, requires, for refundings resulting in defeasance of debt reported by proprietary activities, the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt should be deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense in a systematic and rational manner over the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter.

YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

Part II—Financial statement findings (continued)Finding 2016-001 Significant Deficiency in the Design of Internal Controls over Infrequent
Transactions (continued)
Condition: During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the Aviation Department issued Aviation Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2016A and 2016B with a combined face value of $744,375,000. As noted above, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that the difference between the proceeds received and the refunded debt be deferred and amortized over the life of the refunded debt or the new debt, whichever is shorter. During the audit it was noted that the Aviation Department had recorded the entire future interest of the refunded debt into current year interest expense.
Effect: The deferred refunding loss was understated on the statement of net position and the change in net position was understated on the statements of revenue, expenses, and changes in net position. The adjustment required to correctly report this transaction was $63,189,717.
Cause: The miscalculation in financial reporting resulted from a misinterpretation of the accounting literature related to this unique and complex transaction.
Recommendation: The Aviation Department would benefit by performing additional vetting of these types of complex and nonstandard transactions.
Management’s Response (Planned Corrective Action): The Aviation Department concurs with the recommendation and will require that such future entries be reviewed by the Controller before being recorded.
Part III—Federal award findings and questioned costs
None reported.
Part IV—State financial assistance findings and questioned costs
None reported.
Part V—Passenger facility charge program findings and questioned costs
None reported.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements
Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Board of Trustees Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida:
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, and the pension trust fund of the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the Trust), a department of Miami-Dade County, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Trust’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 30, 2017. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of Jackson Memorial Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation), the discretely presented component unit, as described in our report on the Trust’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors. The financial statements of the Foundation were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Trust’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of

financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Trust’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and State Project; Report on Internal Control over Compliance; and Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and
State Financial Assistance Required by the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida
The Board of Trustees Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida:
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and State Project We have audited the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida’s, a department of Miami-Dade County (the Trust), compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement, and the requirements described in the Florida Department of Financial Services’ State Projects Compliance Supplement, that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Trust’s major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2016. The Trust’s major federal programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with federal and state statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of its federal awards and state projects applicable to its federal programs and state projects.
Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Trust’s major federal programs and state projects based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards(Uniform Guidance) and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida (Chapter 10.550).Those standards, the Uniform Guidance, and Chapter 10.550 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Trust’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state project. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Trust’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Project
In our opinion, the Trust complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2016.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of the Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Trust’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program or state project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state project and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements
Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Commissioners Miami-Dade Public Housing and Community Development Miami, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Miami-Dade Public Housing and Community Development Department (the "Department"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, which collectively comprise the Department’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 30, 2017. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of the properties which comprise the Department’s business-type activities, as described in our report on the Department’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors. Our report also included an emphasis of matter paragraph drawing attention to the fact that the financial statements are for the Department, and that they do not purport to present the financial statements of Miami-Dade County. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Department’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Department’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control, that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
114
Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Department’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Department’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Charlotte, North Carolina March 30, 2017

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance with Requirements for Each Major Federal Program and State Project and on Internal Control over Compliance Required by the Uniform
Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Commissioners Miami-Dade Public Housing and Community Development Miami, Florida Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and State Project We have audited the Miami-Dade Public Housing and Community Development Department (the "Department")’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Department of Financial Services State Projects Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Department’s major federal programs and state project for the year ended September 30, 2016. The Department’s major federal programs and state project are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the federal and state statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal and state awards applicable to its federal programs and state project.
Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Department’s major federal programs and state project based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance"); and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, State of Florida ("Chapter 10.550"). Those standards, the Uniform Guidance, and Chapter 10.550 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program and state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Department’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state project. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Department’s compliance.
116
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Project In our opinion, the Department complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs and state project for the year ended September 30, 2016. Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of the Department is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Department’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program and state project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state project and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of the internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose. Charlotte, North Carolina March 30, 2017

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTINGAND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor andBoard of County CommissionersMiami-Dade County, FloridaMiami, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Transit Enterprise Fund (“Transit”), an enterprise fund of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “County”), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereondated March 30, 2017. As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only Transit and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the County, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Transit's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Transit’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Transit’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

We have audited Transit Enterprise Fund (“Transit”), an enterprise fund of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the County), compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Department of Financial Services’ State Projects Compliance Supplement, that could have a direct and material effect on each of Transit’s major federal programs and state financial assistance projects for the year ended September 30, 2016.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Financial Assistance Project
In our opinion, Transit complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs and state financial assistance projects for the year ended September 30, 2016.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of Transit is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered Transit’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program and state financial assistance project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state financial assistance project and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Transit’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state financial assistance project on a timely basis.

A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state financial assistance project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

We have audited the financial statements of Transit as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Transit’s financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated March 30, 2017, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Carlos A. Gimenez, Mayor, and Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Board of County Commissioners Miami-Dade County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the accompanying financial statements of the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, a department of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the Department), which comprise the statement of net position as of September 30, 2016 and the related statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position, and cash flow for the fiscal year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 28, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Department’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
2
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Department’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR STATE PROJECT AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE; AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES
OF STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 10.550, RULESOF THE AUDITOR GENERAL
Honorable Carlos A. Gimenez, Mayor, and Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Board of County Commissioners Miami-Dade County, Florida
Report on Compliance for Each Major State Project
We have audited Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, a department of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the Department) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the Department of Financial Services’ State Projects Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the Department’s major state project for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. The Department’s major state project is identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with state statues, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its state projects.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for the Department’s state project based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor. Those standards and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Department’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for its major state project. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Department’s compliance.
4
Opinion on the Major State Project
In our opinion, the Department complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major state project for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Department is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Department’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on its major state project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for its major state project and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state project will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a state project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of State Financial Assistance Required by Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General
We have audited the financial statements of the Department as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, and have issued our report thereon dated March 28, 2017, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole.
